Description
This book offers a conceptual framework for understanding risk, drawing on 50 years of sociology and philosophical modernity to explore key concepts such as uncertainty, danger, and threat.
Popov applies this framework to risk reduction policies, emphasizing the role of public discussion and deliberation in liberal democratic societies. In so doing, Popov presents risk as a political concept, highlighting the concept's utility through the lens of Kantian aesthetics and Hannah Arendt's political philosophy.
