Review of Change, Choice and Inference (Hans Rott, Oxford UP)
Author
Summary, in English
Hans Rott is well-known for his work on belief revision theory in the tradition
founded by Carlos Alchourro´ n, Peter Ga¨ rdenfors and David Makinson (hereafter,
‘AGM’) to which he has contributed in a number of fine articles. One of his main
achievements is the establishment of far-reaching connections between AGM-style
belief revision theory and the classical theory of rational choice, as the latter is
understood by mathematical economists like Paul Samuelson and Amartya Sen.
