| Abstract | Drawing from American pragmatist thinking this chapter knits together European and North American approaches on decision making under conditions of ignorance and uncertainty. By doing so, the chapter develops an experimentalist policy logic based on the writings of early pragmatists as well as the Chicago School of sociology to exemplify an example of experimental governance and strategies for continuously coping with ignorance in the remediation of areas with multiple contaminant sources and plumes related to industrial activities in the former socialist east of Germany. Finally, the chapter fathoms further possibilities and limits of an experimental approach in environmental sociology. |
