Este ensayo es una forma de reseña sobre cómo el entendimiento de la cognición humana trata sobre la ley y la política pública. La conclusión básica es que las personas cometen diversos errores al pensar sobre el riesgos y que las leyes como las políticas públicas, se basarán en evidencia estadística no en el razonamiento de la persona común. La discusión explora el uso de las heurísticas, los efectos cascada, el rol de las emociones, las diferencias demográficas, el rol de la confianza y la posibilidad de que las personas comunes tengan una racionalidad especial, distinta a la de expertos. Dado que las personas son propensos a cometer errores, lo que importa, la mayor parte del tiempo es conocer el riesgo actual, no el riesgo percibido. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

What is the relationship between fear, danger, and the law? Cass Sunstein attacks the increasingly influential Precautionary Principle - the idea that regulators should take steps to protect against potential harms, even if causal chains are uncertain and even if we do not know that harms are likely to come to fruition. Focusing on such problems as global warming, terrorism, DDT, and genetic engineering, Professor Sunstein argues that the Precautionary Principle is incoherent. Risks exist on all sides of social situations, and precautionary steps create dangers of their own. Diverse cultures focus on very different risks, often because social influences and peer pressures accentuate some fears and reduce others. Instead of adopting the Precautionary Principle, Professor Sunstein argues for three steps: a narrow Anti-Catastrophe Principle, designed for the most serious risks; close attention to costs and benefits; and an approach called 'libertarian paternalism', designed to respect freedom of choice while also moving people in directions that will make their lives go better. He also shows how free societies can protect liberty amidst fears about terrorism and national security. Laws of Fear represents a major statement from one of the most influential political and legal theorists writing today. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
