Abstract
This article memorializes Daniel Kahneman (1934-2024), Danny was always fascinated by the complexities and inconsistencies of human behavior, beliefs, values, and tastes, if also by the grand problems of philosophy. His pioneering work led to his influential theory of attention as a limited resource that could be allocated to various tasks presented in his first book, Attention and Effort (1974). Prospect theory remained his most cited work by far and was the central work cited in his Nobel Prize award in 2002. Danny's Nobel Prize Lecture, carried the seeds of his highly influential book, Thinking Fast and Slow (2011). His research influenced policy and program development in economics, philosophy, psychology, and artificial intelligence. Highlights of Kahneman's career and professional contributions are noted.

丹尼总是着迷于人类行为、信仰、价值观和品味的复杂性和不一致性,同时也着迷于哲学的重大问题。在他的第一本书《注意力与努力》(1974)中,他提出了一种有影响力的理论,即注意力是一种有限的资源,可以分配给各种任务。到目前为止,前景理论仍然是他被引用最多的研究成果,也是2002年诺贝尔奖被引用的核心研究成果。丹尼的诺贝尔奖演讲为他极具影响力的著作《思考快与慢》(Thinking Fast and Slow, 2011)埋下了种子。他的研究影响了经济学、哲学、心理学和人工智能领域的政策和项目发展。卡内曼的职业生涯和专业贡献的亮点被指出。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA,版权所有)。
