Small Probabilities and High Stakes - Elements in Decision Theory and Philosophy
Tarsney, Christian (University of Toronto)
This Element examines how to weigh tiny probabilities of huge gains or losses in moral decision-making. It critiques both fanaticism and anti-fanaticism, defending a middle view: rationality allows flexibility while often requiring expected value reasoning, especially in real-world contexts.
