摘要

Roeser (2026) emphasizes the role of emotions in risk-assessment, including risks about nuclear weapons. This is a highly valuable comment. I build upon it with a concrete example: Kenneth Waltz found the risk of nuclear war to be acceptable, but shied away from a world government because of the risk of global civil war. Future philosophical research on nuclear weapons should critically examine the processes behind such judgments about acceptable risk.
