Talk: Philip Ebert (Stirling) and Martin Smith (Edinburgh): “Varieties of Risk” DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The notion of risk plays a central role in economics\, finance\, health\, psychology\, law and elsewhere\, and is prevalent in managing challenges and resources in day-to-day life. In recent work\, Duncan Pritchard (2015\, 2016) has argued against the orthodox probabilistic conception of risk on which the risk of a hypothetical scenario is determined by how probable it is\, and in favour of a modal conception on which the risk of a hypothetical scenario is determined by how modally close it is. We introduce three different conceptions of risk: the standard probabilistic conception\, Pritchard’s modal conception\, and a normalcy conception. Ultimately\, we argue that the modal conception is ill-suited to the roles that a notion of risk is required to play and explore the prospects for a form of pluralism about risk\, embracing both the probabilistic and the normalcy conceptions.
