The fifth edition of the renowned classic text Thinking and Deciding offers a comprehensive and timely update on the field of judgments and decisions. This edition expands upon the broad overview provided in its predecessors, delving into the normative standards employed to evaluate conclusions. These standards encompass logic, probability, and various forms of utility theory, providing a framework for understanding and evaluating decision-making processes.
To further enhance our understanding, the book provides descriptive accounts of deviations from these standards, primarily drawing upon principles of cognitive psychology. It emphasizes the distinction between search processes and inferences, shedding light on the cognitive mechanisms that influence our decision-making.
Chapters in this edition cover a wide range of decision-making scenarios, including decisions under risk, decision analysis, moral decisions, and social dilemmas. Each chapter offers insightful insights and practical applications, making it an invaluable resource for advanced undergraduates, early graduate students, and active researchers in diverse fields such as business, politics, law, medicine, economics, and philosophy.
While the book assumes a basic understanding of introductory high-school algebra as a prerequisite, it is particularly suited to advanced undergraduates, early graduate students, and passionate individuals engaged in research in related fields. The comprehensive nature of the content and its interdisciplinary approach make Thinking and Deciding a must-read for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of decision-making processes and their implications in contemporary society.
