The logic of decision defended

Abstract

The approach to decision theory floated in my 1965 book is reviewed (I), challenged in various related ways (II-V) and defended, first ad hoc (II-IV) and then by a general argument of Ellery Ells's (VI). Finally, causal decision theory (in a version sketched in VII) is exhibited as a special case of my 1965 theory, according to the Eellsian argument. © 1981 D. Reidel Publishing Co.
