Cambridge University Press Rationality and Time Bias
Book SynopsisWe often care not only about what happens to us, but when it happens to us. We prefer that good experiences happen sooner, rather than later, and that our suffering lies in our past, rather than our future. Common sense suggests that some ways of caring about time are rational, and others are not, but it is surprisingly challenging to provide justifying explanations for these tendencies. This Element is an opinionated, non-technical guided tour through the main philosophical issues about the relevance of the temporal location of our experiences to our desires and our choices, and the major arguments for and against different kinds of so-called time bias.

Cambridge University Press Decision Theory with a Human Face
Book SynopsisWhen making decisions, people naturally face uncertainty about the potential consequences of their actions due in part to limits in their capacity to represent, evaluate or deliberate. Nonetheless, they aim to make the best decisions possible. In Decision Theory with a Human Face, Richard Bradley develops new theories of agency and rational decision-making, offering guidance on how ''real'' agents who are aware of their bounds should represent the uncertainty they face, how they should revise their opinions as a result of experience and how they should make decisions when lacking full awareness of, or precise opinions on relevant contingencies. He engages with the strengths and flaws of Bayesian reasoning, and presents clear and comprehensive explorations of key issues in decision theory, from belief and desire to semantics and learning. His book draws on philosophy, economics, decision science and psychology, and will appeal to readers in all of these disciplines.Trade Review'Decision Theory with a Human Face is a major work that unifies and expands on an already impressive body of work from Bradley. It is difficult to think of many major debates in philosophical decision theory to which it does not make significant contributions.' Timothy Luke Williamson, Metascience'This book represents an important step forward in the literature, and Bradley does an impressive job in providing a rigorous treatment of decision theory that refuses to idealise away from key features of human rationality.'
