Ariela Lazar
Assistant Professor
Email: a-lazar1@northwestern.edu
Ph.D. University of California at Berkeley. She specializes in philosophy of psychology/mind and philosophy of action. She has a major interest in the foundations of psychoanalysis. Dr. Lazar's main project concerns the foundations of psychological explanation. Her work on irrationality (which often includes input from social and cognitive psychology) is largely targeted towards this project. She is currently completing a series of articles: "Deceiving Oneself or Self-Deceived? On the Formation of Belief," "Under The Influence" (Mind, forthcoming); "Akrasia and the Principle of Continence or What the Tortoise Would Say to Achilles" (1999, in The Philosophy of Donald Davidson, Library of Living Philosophers Volume XXIII; to be reprinted by Oxford University Press in Reasoning Practically); "Division and Deception: Davidson on Self-Deception" (in Self-Deception and Paradoxes of Rationality, CSLI Publications, Stanford University, 1998); "Self Deception and the Desire to Believe" (Behavioral and Brain Sciences 20:1, 1997). Other work in progress includes: "'Just This Once': Acting Against One's Better Judgment"; "Why Should Philosophers Care About Cognitive Fallacies?". Dr. Lazar is about to begin a book manuscript.
