Evidential Decision Theory is a radical theory of rational decision-making. It recommends that instead of thinking about what your decisions *cause*, you should think about what they *reveal*. This Element explains in simple terms why thinking in this way makes a big difference, and argues that doing so makes for *better* decisions.

Aimed at philosophers and those with an interest in rational choice. Economic theory, quantum mechanics and voting all seem to illustrate a deep puzzle about the practical role of causality. This book advances the debate, introduces many new examples and assesses the practical relevance of the philosophical discussion.
