Abstract

In this retrospective honoring the exemplary psychologist Daniel Kahneman (1934–2024), the authors present a curated selection of quotes from the academic community reflecting on his ideas. These submissions, gathered from a wide range of scholars, highlight Kahneman’s contributions to fields spanning attention, judgment, decision-making, and well-being. From his exploration of cognitive biases to his groundbreaking work on prospect theory, Kahneman’s research revolutionized researchers’ understanding of human behavior and decision-making. Beyond his research, many quotes also emphasize Kahneman’s thoughts on what it means to be a behavioral scientist—focusing on a commitment to criticism, transparency, and adversarial collaboration; showcasing the dynamic nature of scientific inquiry across disciplinary divides; and highlighting his dedication to advancing the greater good. Together, these reflections paint a portrait of a visionary thinker whose theoretical and meta-scientific contributions have left an indelible mark on psychology and other social sciences.
