Dear All,   

You're cordially invited to the next installment of the Philosophy of Science of Decision Making seminar series.   

Speaker: Wim DeNeys (Université de Paris LaPsyDE)  

Title: “Fast and Slow thinking: Quo Vadis?”  

Date: 13 February 2026, 14:00 CET

Format: Online, in English  

Abstract: The two-headed, dual process view of human thinking has been very influential in the cognitive sciences. The core idea that thinking can be conceived as an interplay between a fast-intuitive and slower-deliberate process has inspired a wide range of psychologists, philosophers, and economists. However, despite the popularity of the dual process framework it faces multiple challenges. One key issue is that the precise interaction between intuitive and deliberate thought processes (or System 1 and 2, as they are often referred to) is not well understood. In my talk I will give an overview of recent advances and discuss broader implications for our view of human cognition and intelligence.
