Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Does game theory - the mathematical theory of strategic interaction - provide genuine explanations of human behaviour Can game theory be used in economic consultancy or other normative contexts Explaining Games: The Epistemic Programme in Game Theory - the first monograph on the philosophy of game theory - is a bold attempt to combine insights from epistemic logic and the philosophy of science to investigate the applicability of game theory in such fields as economics, philosophy and strategic consultancy. De Bruin proves new mathematical theorems about the beliefs, desires and rationality principles of individual human beings, and he explores in detail the logical form of game theory as it is used in explanatory and normative contexts. He argues that game theory reduces to rational choice theory if used as an explanatory device, and that game theory is nonsensical if used as a normative device.

Two central research programmes in game theory tried to find the ultimate characterisation of strategic interaction between rational agents.
