Intended as apractical guide for decision analysts, this chapter provides an introduction to reasoning under great uncertainty. It seeks to incorporate standard methods of risk analysis in a broader argumentative framework by re-interpreting them as specific (consequentialist) arguments that may inform a policy debate—side by side along further (possibly non-consequentialist) arguments which standard economic analysis does not account for. The first part of the chapter reviews arguments that can be advanced in a policy debate despite deep uncertainty about policy outcomes, i.e. arguments which assume that uncertainties surrounding policy outcomes cannot be (probabilistically) quantified. The second part of the chapter discusses the epistemic challenge of reasoning under great uncertainty, which consists in identifying all possible outcomes of the alternative policy options. It is argued that our possibilistic foreknowledge should be cast in nuanced terms and that future surprises—triggered by major flaws in one’s possibilistic outlook—should be anticipated in policy deliberation.
