NORMATIVE FACETS OF RISK.

An explicative analysis of the concept of risk must take into account that risk assessment depends on individual beliefs and evaluations. A key point is the concept of harm, which appears to be subjective. One of the constitutive aspects of this concept is reference to values, which is also present...

        An explicative analysis of the concept of risk must take into account that risk assessment depends on individual beliefs and evaluations. A key point is the concept of harm, which appears to be subjective. One of the constitutive aspects of this concept is reference to values, which is also present in the statistical hypothesis testing, specifically when oriented to decision making in practical contexts. It is highlighted that some difficulties are found in specifying the ways in which the subjectivity and the values are to be taken into consideration in order to obtain a better understanding of the concept of risk.
        Un'analisi esplicativa del concetto di rischio deve tener conto della dipendenza della valutazione del rischio da credenze e valutazioni individuali. Un punto chiave è costituito dal concetto di danno, che sembra essere soggettivo. Uno degli aspetti costitutivi di questo concetto è il riferimento a valori che è presente anche nella verifica statistica di ipotesi, in particolare quando questa è finalizzata alla presa di decisione nei contesti pratici. Si mettono in evidenza alcune difficoltà che si incontrano nello specificare i modi nei quali la soggettività e i valori sono da prendere in considerazione allo scopo di ottenere una migliore comprensione del concetto di rischio.
