Game Theory and the Humanities: Bridging Two Worlds

摘要

While game theory's engagement with literature began with von Neumann and Morgenstern's pioneering contribution more than 60 years ago, the intersection of game theory and humanities has elicited little scholarly attention since. Brams is among the few who have used game theory to explore realms as diverse as philosophy, religion, theology, law, history, and literature. And, he expects a lot of his enterprise because he believes that game theory may help "achieve happier and more productive lives." This book provides a bird's eye view of Brams's three and a half decades long game-theoretic journey through the humanities.
