Description
Decision Theory with a Human Face by Richard Bradley explores how people make decisions in uncertain situations. Drawing on philosophy, economics, decision science and psychology, the book develops new theories of agency and rational decision-making. Bradley examines key issues in decision theory, from belief and desire to semantics and learning, offering guidance on how 'real' agents should represent uncertainty, revise opinions based on experience, and make decisions when faced with incomplete information. This comprehensive exploration will appeal to readers across various disciplines. By engaging with the strengths and flaws of Bayesian reasoning, Bradley presents a clear and authoritative treatment of decision theory, shedding light on the complexities of human decision-making.
