摘要：The idea that humans can "manage" nature is a modernist conceit. Natural systems and social (human) systemsare always in the process of becoming. In this setting of unknowable dynamic emergence, it is not possible to design institutionalarrangements—rules to live by—that permit an activity called "management." The more fundamental challenge to the conceitof management is that humans are never sure what we want until we are put in a situation of having to work it out. We learnwhat we want by learning about what it might be possible for us to have. Science, properly engaged with the public, can contributeto this learning process. But science cannot hold itself up as an activity that produces truth about what it would be better to do.Sapient adults work that out, just as we work out the evolving meaning to us of the natural system. Science practiced outside ofthis realm of human meaning is impertinent
