Course Content
Most of us find ourselves facing ethical dilemmas and conflicts on a daily basis, and we need to make decisions to resolve them. Resolution of those conflicts would often be easier if we knew the methods of how to make rational decisions under insufficient information or under risk. Decision theory studies ways of decision-making by rational individuals and groups of individuals. This course, which assumes no sophistication in mathematics beyond high-school algebra, provides an introduction to the fundamentals of decision theory, paying attention to matters of ethical and social choice.
