Evolution of the Social Contract

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on evolutionary dynamics, this book explores traditional social contract issues through the lens of game theory. Brian Skyrms provides fresh interpretations of social phenomena such as justice, mutual aid, and commitment without aiming for a grand theory. Instead, he equips readers with tools from evolutionary game theory to analyze these concepts. Accessible to a diverse audience, including students and professionals in various fields, it requires no special background knowledge, making it both engaging and informative.
