We subject others and are ourselves subjected to risk all the time
- risk permeates life. Despite the ubiquity of risk and its
imposition, philosophers and legal scholars have devoted little of
their attention to the difficult questions stimulated by the
pervasiveness of risk. When we impose risk upon others, what is it
that we are doing? What is risking's moral significance? What moral
standards govern the imposition of risk? And how should the law
respond to it? This book highlights these important but neglected
questions and offers novel answers to them in a systematic way,
constructing a normative framework of risk imposition that draws
upon a wide range of insights from diverse sources within
philosophy and legal theory. Oxford Legal Philosophy publishes the
best new work in philosophically-oriented legal theory. It
commissions and solicits monographs in all branches of the subject,
including works on philosophical issues in all areas of public and
private law, and in the national, transnational, and international
realms; studies of the nature of law, legal institutions, and legal
reasoning; treatments of problems in political morality as they
bear on law; and explorations in the nature and development of
legal philosophy itself. The series represents diverse traditions
of thought but always with an emphasis on rigour and originality.
It sets the standard in contemporary jurisprudence.
