  • We easily say “come back (down) to earth” when regaining realistic views. Ironically, ‘soil’ turns to be an elusive notion difficult to grasp. To this day, we can’t precise the ultimate nature of its organic components. Now that soil sciences host an intriguing controversy regarding rival models, little will gain the scientific community drifting from relativism (too soft and permissive) to monism (too boorish and myopic). Here, we argue that this situation present us with a fine opportunity to both apply and test the active normative epistemic pluralism.
