In the first part of the paper plurality of 'narrations' concerning reality is indicated both in public debates and core social sciences. In the second part author suggests that diversity of such 'narrations' is founded either on 'progressive' thinking including our beliefs in possibility to manage public affairs with such means as 'rationalization', forecasting, risk assessment, evidence based decision making, etc. or on uncertainty and social institutions providing patterns of coping with such uncertainty.
