Traditional game theory requires at least two individuals. This
book extends game theory to the inner workings of a single person.
Using game theory to analyse single individuals makes sense if one
thinks of individuals as consisting of two or more relatively
autonomous partitions that might have conflicting motives. This is
not to say that individuals are literally made up from multiple
selves; it only suffices that we adopt a portrayal of the
individual as a multilayered entity or of a dual nature, in a
manner similar to Adam Smith's depiction of an "impartial
spectator" existing within the individual, The notion that
individuals may be considered as collections of distinct partitions
or "sub-selves" has been challenging writers from diverse fields
for many centuries. This book breaks new ground in combining
psychological with evolutionary game theory, making for a highly
promising way towards a better understanding of the individual and
the development of their behaviour, along with the individual's own
perceptions on it.
