  • "The most complete defense of causal decision theory available."@en
  • "The major technical advance offered by the book is a "representation theorem" that shows that both causal decision theory and its main rival, Richard Jeffrey's logic of decision, are instances of a more general conditional decision theory."
  • "The book solves a long-standing problem for Jeffrey's theory by showing for the first time how to obtain a unique utility and probability representation for preferences and judgments of comparative likelihood."
  • "This book defends the view that any adequate account of rational decision making must take a decision maker's beliefs about causal relations into account."
  • "The early chapters of the book introduce the nonspecialist to the rudiments of expected utility theory."
  • "The book will be of interest to a broad range of readers in philosophy, economics, psychology, mathematics, and artificial intelligence."
  • "The book also contains a major new discussion of what it means to suppose that some event occurs or that some proposition is true."
