Abstract |
Seeking a decision theory that can handle both the Newcomb problems
that challenge evidential decision theory and the unstable problems that challenge
causal decision theory, some philosophers recently have turned to ‘graded
ratifiability’. The graded ratifiability approach to decision theory is, however,
despite its virtues, unsatisfactory; for it conflicts with the platitude that it is always
rationally permissible for an agent to knowingly choose their best option.
