Abstract

Lacan’s contribution in applying and promoting game theory in the early 1950s is mostly ignored in the history of game theory. Yet his early analyses of logical reasoning made him one of the first social scientists to consider the importance of the hypothesis of common knowledge. By retracing Lacan's path in his discovery of game theory, we show how much he has been a precursor in applying it. While accommodating a narrative approach, he demonstrated rigour and originality. Soliciting mathematicians open to interdisciplinarity, he introduced as early as 1945 modes of reasoning which corresponds to reasoning based on common knowledge.

雅克·拉康和博弈论:对常识推理的早期贡献

摘要

拉康在 1950 年代初期在应用和推广博弈论方面的贡献在博弈论的历史中大多被忽视。然而,他对逻辑推理的早期分析使他成为最早考虑常识假设重要性的社会科学家之一。通过回顾拉康发现博弈论的道路,我们展示了他是如何应用它的先驱。在适应叙事方法的同时,他展示了严谨和独创性。他征求对跨学科开放的数学家,早在 1945 年就引入了与基于常识的推理相对应的推理模式。
