Decision Theories and Methodologies
2018This chapter introduces the extant decision theories. Whereas the literature segments the field into the Normative, Descriptive, and Prescriptive theories, we identify a fourth. That is the Declarative strand of decision-making. We discuss all four strands of research and praxis. We locate our prescriptive paradigm in the Prescriptive segment.

utility theory and decision theory
1987The conjunction of utility theory and decision theory involves formulations of decision making in which the criteria for choice among competing alternatives are based on numerical representations of the decision agent’s preferences and values. Utility theory as such refers to those representations and to assumptions about preferences that correspond to

It does not aim to be comprehensive. Its preliminaries section explains how to think about utility and the advice that decision theory gives.

Counterfactual Decision Theory Is Causal Decision Theory
Pacific Philosophical QuarterlyAbstractThe role of causation and counterfactuals in causal decision theory is vexed and disputed. Recently, Brian Hedden (2023) argues that we should abandon causal decision theory in favour of an alternative: counterfactual decision theory.

Synthese, 1999
It is sometimes argued that the fact that possession of perfect knowledge about the future is impossible, means that it is impossible for decisions to be rational. This reasoning is fallacious. If rationality is given a new interpretation, then decisions can be considered rational. A theory of decision that has as its basis Peirce’s theory of abduction

Action theory as a resource for decision theory
Theory and Decision, 1986Many problems in decision theory intersect problems in action theory. But although this is widely realized, the connections between the two fields have rarely been systematically discussed in the literature. This essay will attempt to articulate some of those connections and a number of important problems they raise.
