Abstract

AbstractThis chapter introduces three case studies of what can intuitively be deemed vulnerabilities. They illustrate the difficulties which arise when defining vulnerability. Furthermore, it presents different uses of vulnerability and provides an analysis of the concept. It identifies vulnerability as dispositional term, and introduces the distinction between universal and situational vulnerability. Finally, the chapter outlines what desiderata a definition of vulnerability should fulfill, concluding that an explicative definition of vulnerability is most suitable for the purposes of this book.
