Description
David Lewis's Convention offers a profound analysis of social conventions as regularities in resolving coordination problems. Published in 2002, this philosophical study examines how common interests are addressed in situations with interdependent decision processes.
The author contrasts conventions with other kinds of regularity and devotes particular attention to those governing systems of communication. This nuanced exploration has maintained its significance since the book's initial publication in 1969.
