Abstract
<p> The feeling that the risks that threaten our society and everyone in it are constantly growing is spreading. Social and religious institutions that contribute to an individual's orientation and thus create trust are increasingly being questioned. Politics and churches are rapidly losing credibility. The interdisciplinary dialogue between natural sciences, sociology, theology and philosophy aims to explore how our knowledge society asks and answers the question of trust and risks. The volume is aimed at readers who are interested in questions about “trust and risk” in their interdisciplinary context. <bold>With contributions by</bold> Martin Barth | Monika Bobbert | Stephan Clemens | Martin Endreß | Michael Fuchs | Armin Grunwald | Gregor Maria Hoff | Gregor Nickel | Felix G.
