Abstract

[This chapter is aimed to set the scene for the book by introducing our view of ambivalence as an epistemological and ethical position, together with a short overview of the book. Although the concept of ambivalence is widely used in everyday speech and in various scientific fields, its meaning and usage seem to vary. One claim commonly made for ambivalence is that the concept reaches beyond dualistic ideas like ‘either/or’ to favour thinking that includes ‘both’. In so doing, it accommodates the simultaneous existence of conflicting ideas, which to us, seem a productive way forward in studying risk.]
