Rational Coordination without Beliefs / C. Colombo, F. Guala. - In: ERKENNTNIS. - ISSN 0165-0106. - (2021), pp. 1-16. [Epub ahead of print] [10.1007/s10670-021-00496-5]
Abstract:
Can rational agents coordinate in simultaneous interactions? According to standard game theory they cannot, even if there is a uniquely best way of doing so. To solve this problem we propose an argument in favor of ‘belief-less reasoning’, a mode of inference that leads to converge on the optimal solution ignoring the beliefs of the other players. We argue that belief-less reasoning is supported by a commonsensical Principle of Relevant Information that every theory of rational decision must satisfy. We show that this principle can be used to justify (some versions of) team reasoning, as well as other schemes of practical reasoning that do not involve sophisticated meta-representation.
