書籍簡介

《理性的邊界——博弈論與各門行為科學的統一》既是一本優秀的博弈論教材，也是一部致力於統一行為科學的創新力作。

博弈論對於理解人類行為至關重要，且與各門行為學科——從生物學和經濟學到人類學和政治科學——關係重大。然而，正如《理性的邊界》所論證的，單靠博弈論並不能徹底解釋人類行為，應輔之以各門行為科學所尊崇的關鍵概念。

赫伯特·金迪斯指出，離開淵博的社會理論，博弈論不過是唬人的技巧，而離開博弈論，社會理論則只是一項殘破的事業。《理性的邊界》帶領?們重新審視博弈論工具的有用性，並教授我們運用恰當的分析工具，來打通各門行為科學的經脈。

Game theory is central to understanding human behavior and relevant to all of the behavioral sciences—from biology and economics, to anthropology and political science. However, as The Bounds of Reason demonstrates, game theory alone cannot fully explain human behavior and should instead complement other key concepts championed by the behavioral disciplines. Herbert Gintis shows that just as game theory without broader social theory is merely technical bravado, so social theory without game theory is a handicapped enterprise. This edition has been thoroughly revised and updated.

Reinvigorating game theory, The Bounds of Reason offers innovative thinking for the behavioral sciences.
