Uncertain preferences in rational decision
Inquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy 63 (6):605-627 (2020)
Abstract
ABSTRACT Is uncertainty about preferences rationally possible? And if so, does it matter for rational decision? It is argued that uncertainty about preferences is possible and should play the same role in rational decision-making as uncertainty about worldly facts. The paper develops this hypothesis and defends it against various objections.Author's Profile
