Now revised and updated, this introduction to decision theory is
both accessible and comprehensive, covering topics including
decision making under ignorance and risk, the foundations of
utility theory, the debate over subjective and objective
probability, Bayesianism, causal decision theory, game theory, and
social choice theory. No mathematical skills are assumed, with all
concepts and results explained in non-technical and intuitive as
well as more formal ways. There are now over 140 exercises with
solutions, along with a glossary of key terms and concepts. This
second edition includes a new chapter on risk aversion as well as
updated discussions of numerous central ideas, including Newcomb's
problem, prisoner's dilemmas, and Arrow's impossibility theorem.
The book will appeal particularly to philosophy students but also
to readers in a range of disciplines, from computer science and
psychology to economics and political science.
