If you have a question about this talk, please contact Christopher Clarke.

I present and discuss a theory of probability that admits infinitesimal probability values. In the light of this theory, I evaluate objections from the philosophical literature that purport to show that on conceptual grounds that appeal to infinitesimal probability values is inherently problematic.
