Pedersen) \n\n\nThe dominant approach in the literature on risk is to adopt a monist stance by taking the probabilistic notion of risk to be the only proper notion. However\, there is a growing philosophical literature on non-probabilistic notions of risk. In this paper\, we first briefly outline the current state of the debate with regards to non-probabilistic notions of risk and then present and discuss different forms that pluralism about risk could take\, drawing on pluralist ideas in ethics\, epistemology\, and the philosophies of truth and logic. In the last section\, we investigate how each type of risk pluralism will assess a given thought experiment which will help to highlight their differences and identify predictions for further experimental work on risk pluralism.

Although belief in ancestral existence remains widespread globally\, I shall focus on a-thinned out version of African forms of this belief. ‘Thinned-out’ in that I am not interested in this or that substantive version of the belief among different African peoples; nor am I interested in the particular cultural practises that attend or attest to the belief. I am interested in the general form of the belief\, and in the more general conception of the natural world in general which one would have to endorse for belief in ancestral existence to count as rational. In one sense\, the aims of this paper are quite modest: I merely aim to get clearer\, myself\, on what strikes me as an intuitively attractive belief. In another sense\, the paper is quite ambitious: the belief would seem to require Western readers to suspend routine metaphysical and scientific assumptions about the natural order. In putting pressure on these routine assumptions\, I shall touch on discussions around free will and consciousness as phenomena that share some of the features of ancestral existence. Considered comparatively\, belief in ancestral existence may be no less rationally defensible than belief in free will or (non-reductive) consciousness. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-katrin-flikschuh-lse/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
