How do you decide whether to take up the offer? Several philosophers have recently argued that we are in similar situations for more of our decisions than we usually recognize. Are they right? What resources can we draw on to create such situations? Are they enough to satisfy our aims of making the best decisions we can, especially in high stakes situations? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume brings together philosophers and psychologists to investigate the phenomenon of transformative change and a host of fascinating questions it prompts. Taking their departure from seminal work on transformative choice and experience by L. A. Paul and Edna Ullmann-Margalit, the authors pursue fundamental questions concerning the nature of rationality, the limits of the imagination, and the metaphysics of the self. They also strike out into new areas, including value theory, aesthetics, moral and political philosophy. Several chapters present the results of experimental investigation into the psychology of transformation, self-concept, and moral learning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnoch Lambert, \u003cem\u003ePostdoctoral Associate, Centre for Cognitive Studies, Tufts University\u003c\/em\u003e, John Schwenkler, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor of Philosophy, Florida State University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEnoch Lambert is Postdoctoral Associate in the Center for Cognitive Studies at Tufts University.
