Definition & History of Methods
Within this lecture we deeply focus on the formation of a new arena in science that is including not only system knowledge, but also normative knowledge as well as transformative knowledge. In order to create solution for the problems we currently face, a solution orientated agenda is necessary. This may demand the creation of novel methodological pathways to knowledge creation. Here, we give a tentative overview on the developments up until now.
Design Criteria of Methods in Sustainability Science
There are several design criteria that allow you to systematise methods. Many of these criteria are part of the “usual suspects” in normal science sensu strictu Kuhn. Here, we discuss further design criteria and knowledge types that can be relevant to systematise knowledge production through methods for sustainability science.
