> Originally introduced by Cass Sunstein and Richard Thaler, nudges have
> been defined as any aspect of the choice architecture that alters
> people's behavior in a predictable way, without merely informing,
> forbidding a course of action, or significantly changing the economic
> incentives. Nudges include for example default choices (e.g. people
> being considered as organ donors by default), physical arrangements of
> the environment (for instance displaying healthy food in a cafeteria
> line) or changing temporal perspectives (like the "Save More Tomorrow"
> program for retirement savings). Nudges have been taking an increasing
> importance in public policy with initiatives such as the "Behavioral
> Insights Team" dedicated to the public use of nudges in the UK.
>
> The goal of this special issue of the Review of Philosophy and
> Psychology is to bring together works from various disciplines to
> raise new lights on the study of nudges. In particular, we encourage
> submissions clarifying the status of nudges and their interactions
> with psychological processes. This requires a detailed analysis of the
> connections between nudges and fundamental notions including:
> heuristic; bias and rationality; decision, choice and action;
> causality; control, freedom of choice and consent; influence and
> manipulation. We also welcome papers investigating the ethics of
> nudges, the implication of nudges for political philosophy, or the
> contextual analysis of specific nudges. We encourage submissions from
> experts of various fields, including - but not restricted to -
> philosophy, cognitive science, economics, medicine, and law.
