Abstract

In a recent paper in this journal Duncan Pritchard responds to an objection to the modal account of risk pressed by Ebert, Smith and Durbach (2020). In this paper, I expand upon the objection and argue that it still stands. I go on to consider a more general question raised by this exchange - whether risk is 'objective', or whether it is something that varies from one perspective to another.
