If we take a neo-pragmatic and life chances-oriented perspective, sustainable development cannot be understood as the process of achieving normative end goals or fulfilling fixed models. In a neo-pragmatic and life chances-oriented understanding, it is rather understood as a process by which people continuously redefine their relationship to themselves and the world. It is therefore not to be understood as a state to be achieved, but as an open sociocultural practice that is determined by its processes, its changing concepts, and its forms of social sensitivity. In this book, we have attempted to show that sustainable development can be particularly successful where transformations are designed in such a way that they remain reasonable, resonant, and reusable for people. The neo-pragmatic approach makes it clear that vocabularies—and thus also understandings of sustainable development—are always contingent, historically situated, and revisable.
