Description
Preference Change is a thorough examination of one of the most fundamental questions in decision theory and philosophy: how and why do our preferences evolve? This Element provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms, causes, and implications of preference shifts in human decision-making.
The authors, David Strohmaier and Michael Messerli, investigate the theoretical frameworks necessary to understand preference change. They address key philosophical questions about the nature of preferences themselves and explore various models explaining how decision-makers update their evaluative attitudes. The book covers classical and contemporary approaches, examining both rational and irrational sources of preference modification.
Ideal for scholars and students of decision theory, philosophy, economics, and psychology, this work offers valuable insights into the dynamic nature of human choice. It bridges theoretical philosophy with practical implications, making it an essential resource for understanding how preferences shape our decisions and how those preferences themselves transform over time.
