The bounds of reason : game theory and the unification of the behavioral sciences / Herbert Gintis. - Revised paperback edition - Princeton, N.J. : Princeton University Press, 2014. - 265 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Decision theory and human behavior -- Game theory: basic concepts -- Game theory and human behavior -- Rationalizability and common knowledge of rationality -- Extensive form rationalizability -- The logical antinomies of knowledge -- The mixing problem: purification and conjectures -- Bayesian rationality and social epistemology -- Common knowledge and Nash equilibrium -- The analytics of human sociality -- The unification of the behavioral sciences -- Summary -- Table of symbols.
Game theory cannot fully explain human behaviour and should instead complement other key concepts championed by the behavioral disciplines. Gintis shows that just as game theory without broader social theory is merely technical bravado, so social theory without game theory is a handicapped enterprise.
