Description: Moral Responsibility and Risk in Society : Examples from Emerging Technologies, Public Health and Environment, Hardcover by Fahlquist, Jessica Nihlén, ISBN 1138192902, ISBN-13 9781138192904, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Risks, including health and technological, attract a lot of attention in modern societies, from individuals as well as policy-makers. Human beings have always had to deal with dangers, but contemporary societies conceptualise these dangers as risks, indicating that they are to some extent controllable and calculable. Conceiving of dangers in this way implies a need to analyse how we hold people responsible for risks and how we can and should take responsibility for risks. Moral Responsibility and Risk in Society combines philosophical discussion of different concepts and notions of responsibility with context-specific applications in the areas of health, technology and environment. Th consists of two parts addressing two crucial aspects of risks and responsibility: holding agents responsible, . ascribing and distributing responsibility for risks, and taking responsibility for risk. More specifically, th discusses the values of fairness and efficacy in responsibility distributions and makes distinctions between backward-looking and forward-looking responsibility as well as individual and collective responsibility. Additionally, it analyses what it means to take responsibility for technological risks, conceptualising this kind of responsibility as a virtue, and furthermore, explores the notion of responsible risk communication and the implications for adult-child relationships. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental ethics, bioethics, public health ethics, engineering ethics, philosophy of risk and moral philosophy.
