Agreeing to disagree: The non-probabilistic case

نویسنده

  • Dov Samet
چکیده

A non-probabilistic generalization of Aumann’s (1976) agreement theorem is proved. Early attempts at such a theorem were based on a version of the sure-thing principle which assumes an intrapersonal-interstate comparison of knowledge. But such comparisons are impossible in partition structures. The theorem proved here is based on a new version of the sure-thing principle that makes an interpersonal-intrastate comparison of knowledge.

DELUDEDLY AGREEING TO AGREE By

We study conditions relating to the impossibility of agreeing to disagree in models of interactive KD45 belief (in contrast to models of S5 knowledge, which are used in nearly all the agreements literature). Agreement and disagreement are studied under models of belief in three broad settings: non-probabilistic decision models, probabilistic belief revision of priors, and dynamic communication ...

Euthanasia: agreeing to disagree?

In discussions about the legalisation of active, voluntary euthanasia it is sometimes claimed that what should happen in a liberal society is that the two sides in the debate "agree to disagree". This paper explores what is entailed by agreeing to disagree and shows that this is considerably more complicated than what is usually believed to be the case. Agreeing to disagree is philosophically p...

Agreeing to Disagree in Infinite Information Structures

Several authors have recently studied the game theory aspects of generalized information structures, that is, information structures that are not partitions. Such structures are needed when we wish to impose some restrictions on the concept of knowledge or bound rationality (see [3] and [4]). Some theories that were developed for partitions do not hold for generalized information structures or ...

Agreeing to disagree in probabilistic dynamic epistemic logic

Aumann’s agreeing to disagree theorem is a central theorem of game theory. This result says that if two agents have a common prior, then they cannot agree (have common knowledge of their posteriors) to disagree (while these posteriors are not identical). This thesis looks at the agreeing to disagree theorem from the perspective of probabilistic dynamic epistemic logic. The first goal of the the...
