Description

This statement on Pluralism in Existential Risk Studies was written by a group of researchers attending the FHI and CSER Workshop on Pluralisms in Existential Risk Studies. It conveys our support for the necessity for the community concerned with existential risk to be pluralistic, containing a diversity of methods, approaches and perspectives, that can foster difference and disagreement in a constructive manner. We recognise that the field has not yet achieved this necessary pluralism, and commit to bring about such pluralism. The statement provides the reasoning that underpins this desire for pluralism, and sketches a vision of the future of the field involving such pluralism.
