good dust-jacket with a few chips and wear, very good white cloth. BINMORE, KEN. Game theory and the social contract. Volume 1 : Playing Fair. Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 1994, 1995, 1995, second printing, xxii, 364pp., . MIT Press series on economic learning and social evolution". - In Game Theory and the Social Contract, Ken Binmore argues that game theory provides a systematic tool for investigating ethical matters. His reinterpretation of classical social contract ideas within a game-theoretic framework generates new insights into the fundamental questions of social philosophy. He clears the way for this ambitious endeavor by first focusing on foundational issues - paying particular attention to the failings of recent attempts to import game - theoretic ideas into social and political philosophy. Binmore shows how ideas drawn from the classic expositions of Harsanyi and Rawls produce a synthesis that is consistent with the modern theory of noncooperative games. In the process, he notes logical weaknesses in other analyses of social cooperation and coordination, such as those offered by Rousseau, Kant, Gauthier, and Nozick. He persuasively argues that much of the current literature elaborates a faulty analysis of an irrelevant game.". ISBN 0262023636. N° de ref. del artículo 94361
