Abstract
With the ‘argumentative turn’ in policy studies showing us that knowledge is not what it used to be, it is time to consider the relevance of opinion. Revisiting the ancient opposition between knowledge and opinion, particularly in connection with the work of Hannah Arendt, we find that this opposition continues to figure prominently in contemporary policy and public discourses. The argument is that policy needs to be viewed, at least in part, as a matter of opinion. By way of conclusion, this point is illustrated with reference to the climate change controversy and proposed ‘geoengineering’ solutions.
