"In this highly original book Michael Bacharach aims right at the
foundations of game theory by challenging its narrow and
individualistic rationality assumptions. While retaining all of the
theory's analytical force, he shows how we can incorporate into it
broader psychological mechanisms such as frames, social identities,
and salience, producing a tool capable of biting deeper and wider
into real-world social phenomena. For years to come this book will
sharpen the thinking of economists. All social scientists who
strive to make sense of social behavior, even those hitherto
suspicious of game theory, will find it a treasure trove of
inspiration."--Diego Gambetta, Professor of Sociology and Official
Fellow, Nuffield College, University of Oxford
"Michael Bacharach is best known as the creator of the
epistemological approach to game theory. He died while working on
an equally creative project that aimed at understanding the
psychology of human coordination processes. Gold and Sugden are to
be congratulated on working up the notes he left behind into a book
that captures the kind of intellectual adventure that Bacharach
loved so much."--Ken Binmore, Emeritus Professor of Economics,
University College London, author of "Game Theory and the Social
Contract, Vol. I" and "Vol. II"
""Beyond Individual Choice" addresses an important topic in game
theory, namely, the type of reasoning that leads to coordination
and cooperation in common interest games. It offers sensible and
creative solutions to problems of strategic reasoning and thereby
makes an excellent contribution to the foundations of game theory.
The editors have done a fine job with Michael Bacharach's work;
their perspectivescomplement his and add both unity and depth to
the volume. Economists, psychologists, and philosophers will
welcome the book, which is accessible to students of game theory in
each of those disciplines."--Paul Weirich, Professor of Philosophy,
University of Missouri, author of "Realistic Decision Theory"
