Hard Choices by Isaac Levi

Decision Making under Unresolved Conflict

A philosophically grounded account of decision making under uncertainty, explaining how difficult decisions arise from unresolved conflicts among aims and incomplete comparative judgments. It models indecision with sets of probabilities and utilities rather than a single prior and utility function, evaluates options by admissibility (including E-admissibility), and resists forcing complete preference orderings. The work links rational choice to inquiry, arguing that acceptance policies and deliberate commitments can legitimately resolve conflict over time.
