Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Defending the conception of "objective risk"

Notes: Sumario: The notion of "objective risk" is frequently discussed within the risk literature. While some argue that risk analysis measures objective risk, others claim that there are no real, objective risks - only subjective descriptions of them. "Objectivity" in these discussions of the presuposes value-free, dispassionate, and impartial analysis. Feminist epistemology offers a different interpretation of "objectivity" that is more context-bound. It is argued that even though every risk can be described in several different ways, and does involve value judgments and emotions, the objectivity ideal should not be abandonedRelated records: En: Risk analysis : an international journal. - McLean, Virginia : Society for Risk Analysis, 1987-2015 = ISSN 0272-4332. - 02/01/2012 Tomo 32 Número 1 - 2012 , p. 16-24Materia / lugar / evento: Análisis de riesgos Percepción del riesgo Riesgo objetivo Other categories: 7
