Rational Responses to Risks
Av Paul Weirich
Inbunden, 2020
1371 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Good decisions account for risks. For example, the risk of an accident while driving in the rain makes a reasonable driver decide to slow down. While risk is a large topic in theoretical disciplines such as economics and psychology, as well as in practical disciplines such as medicine and finance, …

Realistic Decision Theory
Rules for Nonideal Agents in Nonideal Circumstances
Av Paul Weirich
E-bok, 2004
935 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Within traditional decision theory, common decision principles -- e.g. the principle to maximize utility -- generally invoke idealization; they govern ideal agents in ideal circumstances. In Realistic Decision Theory , Paul Weirch adds practicality to decision theory by formulating principles …

The Philosophical and Legal Debate
Av Paul Weirich
E-bok, 2007
1192 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Food products with genetically modified (GM) ingredients are common, yet many consumers are unaware of this. When polled, consumers say that they want to know whether their food contains GM ingredients, just as many want to know whether their food is natural or organic. Informing consumers is a …

Groups of people perform acts that are subject to standards of rationality. A committee may sensibly award fellowships, or may irrationally award them in violation of its own policies. A theory of collective rationality defines collective acts that are evaluable for rationality and formulates …

Equilibrium and Rationality
Game Theory Revised by Decision Rules
Av Paul Weirich
Häftad, 2007
618 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book represents a major contribution to game theory. It offers this conception of equilibrium in games: strategic equilibrium. This conception arises from a study of expected utility decision principles, which must be revised to take account of the evidence a choice provides concerning its …

Classical decision theory evaluates entire worlds, specified so as to include everything a decision-maker cares about. Thus applying decision theory requires performing computations far beyond an ordinary decision-maker's ability. In this book Paul Weirich explains how individuals can simplify and …

Rational Choice Using Imprecise Probabilities and Utilities
Av Paul Weirich
E-bok, 2021
294 kr
Lägg i varukorg
An agent often does not have precise probabilities or utilities to guide resolution of a decision problem. I advance a principle of rationality for making decisions in such cases. To begin, I represent the doxastic and conative state of an agent with a set of pairs of a probability assignment and a …
