How should thinkers cope with uncertainty? Julia Staffel breaks new ground in the study of rationality by answering this question and many others. She also explains how it is better to be less irrational, because less irrational degrees of belief are generally more accurate and better at guiding our actions.

Julia Staffel is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She received her PhD in Philosophy from the University of Southern California in 2013. Before joining USC, she studied Philosophy and Linguistics at Humboldt University in Berlin and at Brown University. She mainly works in the areas of traditional and formal epistemology, with a focus on questions about rationality and reasoning. She is especially interested in exploring how thinkers ought to manage non-ideal conditions, such as their own irrationality, mistakes, time constraints, and other hardships.
