| Tiivistelmä: | The author focused on three features of the received theory of rational choice. First, he examined the philosophical foundations of expected utility theory, concentrating on the version that commands most support among modern theorists - that of Savage. Second, he looked at the assumption of "common knowledge of rationality", which underlines game theory. Finally, he looked at the suggestion that rational choice theory is self-defeating, and individuals who are known to be fully rational in the conventional sense may be less successful in reaching their objectives than they would have been, had they been less rational. |
