ABSTRACT

Seeking a decision theory that can handle both the Newcomb problems that challenge evidential decision theory and the unstable problems that challenge causal decision theory, some philosophers recently have turned to ‘graded ratifiability’. However, the graded ratifiability approach to decision theory is, despite its virtues, unsatisfactory; for it conflicts with the platitude that it is always rationally permissible for an agent to knowingly choose their best option.

故意选择最好的会是不合理的吗?

摘要

为了寻求一种既能处理挑战证据决策理论的 Newcomb 问题又能处理挑战因果决策理论的不稳定问题的决策理论,一些哲学家最近转向了“分级可批准性”。然而,决策理论的分级可批准性方法尽管有其优点,但并不令人满意;因为它与代理人有意识地选择他们的最佳选择总是理性地允许的陈词滥调相冲突。
