More about the book
The book presents a groundbreaking philosophical analysis of the precautionary principle, focusing on the ethics of risk imposition. It develops a novel theory that defends precaution in environmental and technological policymaking while addressing common criticisms and flaws. The implications of this theory extend to bio-, information-, and nuclear technologies, as well as global climate change policies. The author emphasizes the necessity of balancing ethical action with the costs of precaution and offers practical suggestions for regulatory frameworks, challenging existing ethical theories and societal norms.
