Ram Neta is Professor of Philosophy at UNC-Chapel Hill, where he has taught since 2003. His research is an effort to understand what it is to be rational, and why rationality matters. In pursuing this broad question, he ends up addressing lots of related questions about the role of knowledge in our decision-making, the ways in which our training informs our experience of the world, and the function of evidence in deliberation. He has published scores of articles on these and related topics in academic journals.
