Risk and uncertainty pervade life from individual everyday choices to large-scale political decisions. The range extends from risks and uncertainties associated with climate change\, terrorist attacks and new technologies to more prosaic examples related to health\, accidents\, financial crises and everything in between. Philosophical concern with the topics of risk and uncertainty is at an all-time high.
\nThis workshop addresses the definition\, assessment\, moral evaluation and management of risks and uncertainties. We welcome contributions from a broad range of normative theories (ethics\, political philosophy\, political theory\, law\, etc.) as well as from related public policy fields\, especially those concerned with risk and uncertainty in the context of climate change.
\nWorkshop presentations might consider questions including\, but not limited to:
