This project aims to develop a theory of risk. From the extreme to the everyday, from warfare to the drive to work, the modern world is unimaginable without mutual imposition of risk. Philosophers must explain how risks can be justified, or risk irrelevance. This project will use the tools of ethics (the study of right and wrong action) and decision theory (the study of rational decision-making under uncertainty) to develop a comprehensive theory of the ethics of risk. This project is expected to improve understanding of the risks people impose on others as individuals and as a society.

该项目旨在发展风险理论。从极端到日常生活，从战争到工作动力，如果没有相互施加风险，现代世界是不可想象的。哲学家必须解释风险如何被证明是合理的，或者风险是无关紧要的。该项目将使用伦理学（对正确和错误行为的研究）和决策理论（不确定性下的理性决策研究）工具来发展风险伦理学的综合理论。该项目预计将提高人们对个人和社会对他人施加的风险的理解。
