In recent years, prominent authors have worried that these modifications threaten to trivialize decision theory, make the theory unfalsifiable, impose overdemanding requirements on decision theorists, and hamper decision theory’s internal coherence. In this paper, I draw on leading descriptive and normative works in contemporary decision theory to address these prominent concerns. In doing so, I articulate and assess several different criteria for individuating and formally representing agents’ choice options.- Reproduced Decision theory, Rationality, Axioms, Preferences, Consistency, Choice options 19620 Philosophy of The Social Sciences DECISION THEORY AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 388780 IIPA IIPA 2020-12-12 50(4), Jul, 2020: p,338-365 AR123645 2020-12-12 AR
