But the topic of risk also leads to more fundamental questionssuch 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 judgewhether a risk is morally acceptable or not? Over the last couple of decadesquestions like these have attracted interest from philosophers and other scholarsinto risk theory.This book presents theEssentials of Risk Theory.It is based on the moreextensiveHandbook of Risk Theory.The introductory chapter of theEssentials ofRisk Theorybook provides an overview of the full lengthHandbook.The otherchapters are representative for the broad ranges of issues addressed in theHand-book.In this way, theEssentials of Risk Theoryprovides for a compact, easilyaccessible introduction in the various facets of the broad new field of Risk Theory.This makes theEssentials of Risk Theoryan ideal text book for undergraduate andgraduate courses on risk for fields as diverse as psychology, social sciences,economics, decision theory, and ethics.The contributions are accessibly written and highly relevant to issues that arestudied by risk scholars. We hope that theEssentials of Risk Theoryand theHandbook of Risk Theorywill be helpful starting points for students as much asfor risk scholars who are interested in broadening and deepening their currentperspectives.Sabine Roeser (Editor-in-Chief)Rafaela HillerbrandPer SandinMartin PetersonvAcknowledgmentsSabine Roeser’s work for theHandbook of Risk Theoryhas been conducted at thephilosophy departments of TU Delft and Twente University and was sponsored byThe Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), with VIDI-grantnumber 276-20-012.Rafaela Hillerbrand’s work on this volume was supported by the excellenceinitiative of the German federal and state governments and conducted at theHuman Technology Centre (HumTec) and the Institute of Philosophy, RWTHAachen University.
