Paul Bloom is Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto, and Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Yale University. Paul Bloom studies how children and adults make sense of the world.

Paul Bloom delves into the intricacies of morality, debates the importance of reason over emotion in making moral decisions, and argues for the power of reason to help distinguish between rational and irrational reactions. Along with Peter and Kasia, Paul explores the significance of pleasure, distinguishing between short-term pleasures and long-term happiness, and the psychological aspects underpinning our attachment to objects with historical value.
