Risk has become one of the main topics in fields as diverse as
engineering, medicine and economics, and it is also studied by
social scientists, psychologists and legal scholars. This Springer
Essentials version offers an overview of the in-depth handbook and
highlights some of the main points covered in the Handbook of Risk
Theory. The topic of risk also leads to more fundamental questions
such as: What is risk? What can decision theory contribute to the
analysis of risk? What does the human perception of risk mean for
society? How should we judge whether a risk is morally acceptable
or not? Over the last couple of decades questions like these have
attracted interest from philosophers and other scholars into risk
theory. This brief offers the essentials of the handbook provides
for an overview into key topics in a major new field of research
and addresses a wide range of topics, ranging from decision theory,
risk perception to ethics and social implications of risk. It aims
to promote communication and information among all those who are
interested in theoretical issues concerning risk and uncertainty.
The Essentials of Risk Theory brings together internationally
leading philosophers and scholars from other disciplines who work
on risk theory. The contributions are accessibly written and highly
relevant to issues that are studied by risk scholars. The
Essentials of Risk Theory will be a helpful starting point for all
risk scholars who are interested in broadening and deepening their
current perspectives.
