Hard Choices

Decision Making Under Unresolved Conflict

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Making decisions often means juggling competing values and rarely does any choice satisfy all. Professor Isaac Levi examines the process of decision making and discusses conflicts of value in several domains--those arising in moral dilemmas, the drawing of scientific inferences, decisions taken under uncertainty, and social choice. He shows how conflict may be reduced but not always eliminated.
