In this volume we present some o< the papers that were delivered at FUR-82 - the First International Con<erence on Foundations o< Utility and Risk Theory in Oslo, June 1982. The purpose o< the con<erence was to provide a <orum within which scientists could report on interesting applications o< modern decision theory and exchange ideas about controversial issues in the <oundations o< the theory o< choice under un­ certainty. With that purpose in mind we have selected a mixture of applied and theoretical papers that we hope will appeal to a wide spectrum o< readers <rom graduate students in social science departments and business schools to people involved in making hardheaded decisions in business and government. In an introductory article Ole Hagen gives an overview o< various paradoxes in utility and risk theory and discusses these in the light o< scientific methodology. He concludes the article by calling <or joint efforts to provide decision makers with warkable theories. Kenneth Arrow takes up the same issue on a broad basis in his paper where he discusses the implications o< behavior under uncertainty for policy. In the theoretical papers the reader will <ind attempts at de<initive Statements of the meaning o< old concepts and suggestions for the adoption o< new concepts. For instance, Maurice Allais discusses four di<ferent interpretations o< the axioms o< probability and explains the need <or an empirical characterization o< the concept of chance.
