They are characterized by a multitude of possibilities for making decisions. At the same time, they confront individuals and collective actors with the need to make more and more decisions. The complexity and scope of decisions also seem to be increasing in many areas of life. Global crises (climate change, corona pandemic) and technological innovations (human-machine interaction, digitalization) not only confront modern societies with new questions when it comes to current and future decisions, but also science, which researches decision-making.
