CALL FOR PAPERS
It is widely agreed that it is unethical to impose unwanted nontrivial risks on others under a wide range of circumstances. In this one-day workshop, we will examine methods and strategies for managing risks in an ethically acceptable manner. Can quantitative risk-benefit analysis be applied to all types of risks, or are there societal domains in which other approaches are warranted? Is the precautionary principle a viable alternative to quantitative risk-benefit analysis? Under what conditions do risk impositions constitute rights-violations? The conference will bring together scholars from numerous disciplines, such as philosophy, law, history, health sciences, business, community preparedness and engineering, as well as experts from industry and business.
