In this Response, I want to expand upon some of the central themes of Professor Dan Kahan’s illuminating and forceful article. My few disagreements with him are offered as friendly suggestions and requests for clarification. Most of my criticisms are directed at the accounts he too criticizes—the rational weigher and the irrational weigher accounts of risk evaluation. I will be concerned with these accounts as he presents them and will not question whether he presents them accurately. My focus will be further restricted to concerns about what he and these accounts say about emotions themselves; I will not address the very interesting connections he draws between emotions and political or social theory, such as liberalism, in other work. My concern, then—as indicated in the title of my contribution—is with emotions and risk evaluation, not risk regulation.
