Hazard is the intersection of significance with uncertainty; in other words the possibility that what you want might not happen. Bennett says it's a core feature of life and it's implications are much broader and deeper than you might imagine.

Every time I read a book by Bennett I wonder why he is not much much better known. He is to my mind one of the greatest philosophers ever but unlike almost every other philosopher his thinking and ideas are practical and relevant to our daily lives.
