In this article, Savage’s theory of decision-making under uncertainty is extended from a classical environment into a non-classical one. The Boolean lattice of events is replaced by an arbitrary ortho-complemented poset. We formulate the corresponding axioms and provide representation theorems for qualitative measures and expected utility. Then, we discuss the issue of beliefs updating and investigate a transition probability model. An application to a simple game context is proposed.

Quantum cognition in decision making is a recent and rapidly growing field. In this paper, we develop an expected utility theory in a context of non-classical uncertainty. We replace the classical state space with a Hilbert space which allows introducing the concept of quantum lottery. Within that framework, we formulate axioms on preferences over quantum lotteries to establish a representation theorem. We show that demanding the consistency of choice behavior conditional on new information is equivalent to the von Neumann–Lüders postulate (...) applied to beliefs. A dynamically consistent quantum-like agent may violate dynamic recursive consistency, however. This feature suggests interesting applications in behavioral economics as we illustrate in an example of persuasion. (shrink)

Every serious problem creates an intellectual field and the greater the difference between the scale of the problem and the initial possibilities of solving it, the stronger the field. Concepts and ideas connected with other problems are drawn into the field, and new ideas, models, conceptions, doctrines, theories, and hypotheses are generated within it.

В доступной форме ученики и последователи В. И. Свидерского рассказывают об этом выдающемся "генераторе" новых философских идей, о значении этих идей в преодолении кризисных явлений в современной философии.

Автор предлагает читателю новую психоантропологическую концепцию человеческой агрессии. Анализируя последствие 4000 лет мировой истории, он приходит к выводу, что истоки агрессии заложены в нарастающей мутации души, деформации генофонда. Для специалистов.

В монографии рассматриваются мифы о Мировом Разуме, который нашими древними предками почитался как языческая богиня Матерь Мира София Премудрая. Для широкого круга читателей.

I should like to supplement somewhat the interpretation of the data presented by D.E. Furman. It seems to me that to understand current processes, we must have a clearer idea of the starting point of the present intellectual movement—the "mass atheism" of the preceding period. What was this mass atheism?

В издании рассматриваются вопросы происхождения и смыслового наполнения дефиниций "совесть" и "интеллигенция" анализируются взгляды представителей разных историко-философских школ по заявленной проблеме.
