          Abstract

          Referências à sociedade do risco já se tornaram corriqueiras e freqüentemente expressam mais o espírito de incerteza e insegurança da época do que uma teoria sociológica propriamente dita. Lembramos brevemente da contribuição de Beck e Luhmann, entre outros, para a sociologia do risco e partimos para uma interpretação do risco como aspecto da contingência da sociedade moderna. A consciência da contingência, apesar de estar presente no pensamento ocidental desde Aristóteles, ganha um impulso acelerador com a dúvida metódica de Descartes, para se impor dramaticamente com a implosão dos grandes sistemas metafísicos. Com referências a Tomás de Aquino e Richard Rorty, propomos reintegrar no seu sentido acidental aquilo que é necessário. Além de resgatar, dessa maneira, a estrutura paradoxal da contingência, podemos chegar a uma melhor compreensão dos padrões de possibilidade da modernidade técnica.

          Les références à la société du risque sont devenues courantes et expriment fréquemment plutôt l’esprit d’incertitude et d’insécurité d’une époque qu’une théorie sociologique à proprement parler. Rappelons brièvement la contribution de Beck et Luhmann, parmi d’autres, pour la sociologie du risque et partons vers une interprétation du risque comme un aspect de la contingence de la société moderne. La conscience de la contingence gagne - malgré le fait d’être, depuis Aristote, toujours présente dans la pensée occidentale - une nouvelle impulsion avec le doute méthodologique de Descartes, et s’impose dramatiquement avec l’implosion des grands systèmes métaphysiques. Avec des références à saint Thomas d’Aquin et Richard Rorty, nous proposons de réintégrer dans son sens ccidentel ce qui est nécessaire. Ainsi, non seulement nous récupérons la structure paradoxale de la contingence, mais nous pouvons atteindre une meilleure compréhension des paradigmes de possibilité de la modernité technique.

          Translated abstract

          References to the society of risk have become common and frequently tend to express more the spirit of uncertainty and insecurity of times than some properly defined sociological theory. The article briefly recalls the contribution of Beck and Luhmann, among others, to the sociology of risk and then moves towards the interpretation of risk as some aspect of the contingency of the modern society. Contingency awareness, though present in the occidental thinking since Aristotle, gained some accelerating impulse with Descartes’ methodical doubting, before dramatically imposing itself with the implosion of the grand metaphysical systems. Making references to Tomas de Aquino and Richard Rorty, the article proposes reintegrating its essence to its accidental meaning. In rescuing the paradoxical structure of contingency it can then come to a better understanding of the standards of possibility for technical modernity.
