L. Paul

L. A. Paul is a philosopher whose work focuses on time, causation, decision-making, and the self. She is the Millstone Family Professor of Philosophy and Professor of Cognitive Science at Yale, according to her Yale profile.

She is especially well known for writing about transformative experience — the idea that some major life choices can change both what we know and who we become. Her work has reached readers beyond academic philosophy because it connects abstract ideas to everyday decisions.
