An impressive philosophical work on decisions and decision making, the implications decisions have for the future, and the articulation of a theory of future time.

Reviews
Lampert also includes valuable counter-points to the continental tradition by including analytic philosophy ... and political thinkers from both sides of the political spectrum, such as Schmitt and Habermas. This is therefore a rich and rewarding book, as much for those interpretations as for the overall thesis. * Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
Jay Lampert has written a provocative book on the temporality of decisions. He intertwines the book's innovative insight with a masterly and clear treatment of major continental and analytic thinkers as well as with discussions of temporal logic, decision theory, quantum physics, and the Chinese game of Go. Lampert also considers the vital implications of his thesis for ethical responsibility, especially for an age in which fundamentalisms strive to crowd out more judicious and imaginative thought. It's a must read for scholars and theoreticians working on the relation between decision and time and will be of great interest to those concerned more generally with contemporary continental philosophy. -- Fred Evans, Professor of Philosophy, Duquesne University, USA
