Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-17 00:00:00 George Andraous As with other decision theory books I've read recently, I felt like the question being asked was a lot more interesting than the proposed solution(s). Or rather, the part of the solution that stayed at a somewhat intuitive level (drawing a distinction between risks, which are definite probability distributions, and more ambiguous/vague kinds of gambles, which are more indefinite) seemed reasonable and helpful, but I did not find the more technical analysis to be very compelling.
