Rational Behaviour and Bargaining Equilibrium in Games and Social Situations [ electronic resource ] /
by John C. Harsanyi.
- Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2009.
This is a paperback edition of a major contribution to the field, first published in hard covers in 1977. The book outlines a general theory of rational behaviour consisting of individual decision theory, ethics, and game theory as its main branches. Decision theory deals with a rational pursuit of individual utility; ethics with a rational pursuit of the common interests of society; and game theory with an interaction of two or more rational individuals, each pursuing his own interests in a rational manner.
