Social choice in a risk society: social and philosophical aspect

This article analyzes the paradoxes of social choice in conditions of risk. Social choice in a risk society is not just a collision of a subject with risk factors, but a conscious and rational choice. The study asserts the idea of social choice as an attributive property in the process of forming possible risks in the future, manifested in the structuring of world society. Modern society is prone to inconsistent irrational actions, which leads to the emergence of the phenomenon of risk. A positive aspect of risk has been identified as a transition to a better standard of living. The modern social environment determines the multivariance of choice in conditions of uncertainty. The research methodology assumes the possibility of predicting subsequent phenomena. The scientific novelty lies in conducting a comprehensive philosophical analysis of the problems of social risk in the context of the prospects for the development of a new modernizing society. It is concluded that it is necessary to form a social system that is adequate to the situation of risk produced by global changes in society, where the existence of a modern person comes from.
