Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Copy of David Gauthier, with his signature. xvi, 262 pp. Original cloth. Very Good, without dust jacket. Theory and Decision Library, 12. John C. Harsanyi: Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, 1994 (shared with John F. Nash, Jr. and Reinhard Selten), 'for their pioneering analysis of equilibria in the theory of non-cooperative games.' Springer, which took over Reidel, sells the print-on-demand version on its Web site for US$214.00. Gauthier 'is is a Canadian-American philosopher best known for his neo-Hobbesian social contract (contractarian) theory of morality, as laid out in his book Morals by Agreement (1986)' (Wikipedia). Gauthier reviewed Harsanyi's book in Dialogue 17 (1978), 698-706, while Harsanyi wrote a review of Gauthier's book, including a discussion of Gauthier's view on rent, in Economics and Philosophy 3 (1987), pp. 345-48. There 'is a tradition that sees morality as the intentional result of the interactions between ideally rational agents under ideal circumstances. This is an old idea in moral and political philosophy: it is the doctrine of the social contract. The introduction of game theory, as well as insights from decision theory, has contributed to the huge interest in this idea over the last decades. John Rawls, John Harsanyi, Richard Braithwaite, Brian Barry and much later David Gauthier have used the tools of game and decision theory to formulate their versions of the theory' (Bruno Verbeek, Game Theory and Moral Norms: An Overview and an Application, Australian National University, CJP, 11 July 2002). In 2001, the Cambridge University Press published a festschrift for Gauthier, Practical Rationality and Preference: Essays for David Gauthier, edited by Christopher W. Morris and Arthur Ripstein; the book offered here is cited in footnote 1 of Ripstein's Preface on p. 53. Nº de ref. del artículo: 19735
