Chapter Chapter 15 in Uncertainty in Strategic Decision Making, 2024, pp 213-230 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Explains and argues for the ways in which uncertainty connects to curiosity, the brain, and the foundational theory of why we exist as thinking, inquisitive beings. Describes the drivers of these connections and the philosophical implications. Argues that understanding ‘why we decide’, and we why enjoy that capability to decide, matters for the appreciation of the larger role of uncertainty.
