Abstract

The introduction chapter is a discussion about the title of the book. Why having associated the concepts of Risk and Cognition? What are the implications of this association? The responses to these questions have strong consequences on how to apprehend critical problems that emerge (or could emerge) within various activity domains. The chapter presents the two concepts of risk and cognition, and it highlights and analyses relations linking them. The complexity of the risk concept is tackled via historical, ontological and conceptual approaches. The cognition concept is defined and the filiation bonds between Cognition, Cognitive Science, Cognitive Engineering and Knowledge Engineering are presented. The set of cognition concepts defines a coherent field of interdisciplinary knowledge (scientific, methodological and technical), which provides operational tools for the analysis and the design of complex systems (or organizations) where risks are prominent.
