  • Labeling Genetically Modified Food

    The Philosophical and Legal Debate

    Modifié par Paul Weirich ...
    Food products with genetically modified (GM) ingredients are common, yet many consumers are unaware of this. When polled, consumers say that they want to know whether their food contains GM ingredients, just as many want to know whether their food is natural or organic. Informing consumers is a major motivation for labeling. But labeling need not be mandatory. Consumers who want GM-free products ... En savoir plus

  • Rational Responses to Risks

    par Paul Weirich ...
    Good decisions account for risks. For example, the risk of an accident while driving in the rain makes a reasonable driver decide to slow down. While risk is a large topic in theoretical disciplines such as economics and psychology, as well as in practical disciplines such as medicine and finance, philosophy has a unique contribution to make in developing a normative theory of risk that states ...

  • Models of Decision-Making

    Simplifying Choices

    par Paul Weirich ...
    Classical decision theory evaluates entire worlds, specified so as to include everything a decision-maker cares about. Thus applying decision theory requires performing computations far beyond an ordinary decision-maker's ability. In this book Paul Weirich explains how individuals can simplify and streamline their choices. He shows how different 'parts' of options (intrinsic, temporal, ... En savoir plus

  • Rational Choice Using Imprecise Probabilities and Utilities

    par Paul Weirich ...
    Collections series Elements in Decision Theory and Philosophy
    An agent often does not have precise probabilities or utilities to guide resolution of a decision problem. I advance a principle of rationality for making decisions in such cases. To begin, I represent the doxastic and conative state of an agent with a set of pairs of a probability assignment and a utility assignment. Then I support a decision principle that allows any act that maximizes expected ... En savoir plus

  • Realistic Decision Theory

    Rules for Nonideal Agents in Nonideal Circumstances

    par Paul Weirich ...
    Within traditional decision theory, common decision principles -- e.g. the principle to maximize utility -- generally invoke idealization; they govern ideal agents in ideal circumstances. In Realistic Decision Theory, Paul Weirch adds practicality to decision theory by formulating principles applying to nonideal agents in nonideal circumstances, such as real people coping with complex decisions. ...

  • Collective Rationality

    Equilibrium in Cooperative Games

    par Paul Weirich ...
    Groups of people perform acts that are subject to standards of rationality. A committee may sensibly award fellowships, or may irrationally award them in violation of its own policies. A theory of collective rationality defines collective acts that are evaluable for rationality and formulates principles for their evaluation. This book argues that a group's act is evaluable for rationality if it is ... En savoir plus

  • Statistical Evidence

    A Likelihood Paradigm

    par Richard Royall ...
    Collections series Chapman & Hall/CRC Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability
    Interpreting statistical data as evidence, Statistical Evidence: A Likelihood Paradigm focuses on the law of likelihood, fundamental to solving many of the problems associated with interpreting data in this way. Statistics has long neglected this principle, resulting in a seriously defective methodology. This book redresses the balance, explaining why science has clung to a defective methodology ...

    par James Allen ...
    To the majority of people, life is a dark room where one is liable to hurt himself by coming into contact with something he cannot see.

But, when the light of wisdom is introduced into the darkened understanding ... En savoir plus
