Daniel Kahneman: ‘Everything I’ve done has been collaborative’

You could focus on many different topics and issues within this interview with the very influential Kahneman. Perhaps the most useful angle is the way in which he produces new ideas: as he puts it, “Everything I’ve done, actually, has been collaborative.”

  • Can ideas ever be produced in isolation?

  • Are the human sciences like natural sciences, in that its pioneers ‘stand on the shoulders of giants’?
