Description

In Risk and Acceptability, Mary Douglas provides a rigorous review of existing risk theory. Originally published in 1985, this work challenges the individualistic and psychologistic biases found in previous studies. Instead of following flawed models, Douglas presents a unique risk analysis from an anthropological perspective. This volume from the Mary Douglas: Collected Works series examines complex social questions regarding rational choice, the autonomy of the individual, and the provision of public goods. It is an essential text for those studying the social sciences, specifically within the fields of anthropology and sociology. By moving away from purely psychological views, Douglas offers a deeper understanding of how risk is perceived and managed within social structures.
