Quantum cosmology for the 21st century: A debate

Abstract

Quantum cosmology from the late sixties into the early twenty-first century is reviewed and appraised in the form of a debate, set up by two presentations on mainly the Wheeler-DeWitt quantization and on loop quantum cosmology, respectively. (Open) questions, encouragement and guiding lines shared with the audience are provided here.
