L. Jonathan Cohen

L. Jonathan Cohen is a philosopher known for his work on the philosophy of probability and decision-making. He explores how people understand and use probability, often highlighting discrepancies between formal models and human intuition. Cohen argues that traditional ways of thinking about probability can be misleading, particularly in everyday reasoning and judgments under uncertainty. He is known for introducing concepts like "probability judgment" and examining how cognitive biases affect our decision-making processes, contributing to our understanding of rationality and human behavior in uncertain situations. His work bridges philosophy, psychology, and statistics.
