- Double-weighted statement
- This is a substantial contribution to the debate about how rationally to make decisions when your values might be different at other times in your life. It is one of three book-length treatments of this topic, the others by Agnes Callard and L. A. Paul. It is framed as a response to Paul's objection to decision theory, but it goes well beyond that, providing a comprehensive framework in which to make such decisions and introducing novel considerations to which we might appeal when we make such decisions. It was the culmination of four years of work on Paul’s arguments.
