Game Theory and the Social Contract

Game Theory and the Social Contract
In Volume 1 of Game Theory applied social and political philosophy and the Social Contract, Ken Binmore restated the problems of moral applied social and political philosophy and political philosophy in the language of game theory. In Volume 2, Just Playing, he unveils his own controversial theory, which abandons the metaphysics of Immanuel Kant for the naturalistic approach to morality of David Hume. According to this viewpoint, a fairness norm is a convention that evolved to coordinate behavior on an equilibrium of a society`s Game of Life. This approach allows Binmore to mount an evolutionary defense of Rawls`s original position that escapes the utilitarian conclusions that follow when orthodox reasoning is applied with the traditional assumptions. Using ideas borrowed from the theory of bargaining applied social and political philosophy and repeated games, Binmore is led instead to a form of egalitarianism that vindicates the intuitions that led Rawls to write his Theory of Justice. Written for an interdisciplinary audience, Just Playing offers a panoramic tour through a range of new applied social and political philosophy and disturbing insights that game theory brings to anthropology, biology, economics, philosophy, applied social and political philosophy and psychology. It is essential reading for anyone who thinks it likely that ethics evolved along with the human species. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
