290-1 | Graduate Seminar: Decision Theory: Paradoxes and Alternatives | Buchak | W 2-4 | 234 Moses |
This seminar will explore classical decision theory and the alternatives that have arisen in recent years, in response to problems surrounding (1) risk-aversion; (2) non-sharp probabilities; (3) infinite utilities; and (4) acts that are evidence for outcomes but not causally efficacious. We will work through selections from my forthcoming book as well as a number of articles, both classic and recent.
