This workshop brings ethicists and decision theorists together to work out how risk affects moral and rational requirements. Some of the topics include: problems raised when applying decision theory to moral questions; the project of identifying a criterion of subjective permissibility; the significance of moral risks for epistemic norms; distributive questions about rights against risk exposure.
