Description
Rational Decision and Causality by Ellery Eells is a seminal work in the field of decision making. First published in 1982, it has had a lasting impact on probability theorists, economists, statisticians, and psychologists concerned with decision-making and Bayesian principles. The book's analysis of philosophical and psychological significance continues to be influential in philosophy of science, particularly in relation to Bayesian decision theories, causal decision theories, and Newcomb's paradox. A new edition has been prepared for a modern audience, featuring a specially commissioned preface by Brian Skyrms that highlights the book's ongoing relevance to philosophical inquiry. This revised edition presents Ellery Eells' original work in a fresh and accessible format, making it an important resource for anyone interested in rational decision-making and its applications.
