The Philosophy of Decision-Making: Principles, Ethics, and Rationality
Main Article Content
Abstract
The philosophy of decision-making examines the fundamental principles and processes underlying human choices. It investigates how epistemology, ethics, and logic shape the evaluation and selection of alternatives. Contemporary research in this field spans from mathematical and computational models of rational choice to qualitative approaches that address the complexity of decisions in contexts of uncertainty. By integrating insights from philosophy, psychology, economics, and decision theory, the field provides a comprehensive framework for understanding both the normative and descriptive aspects of human decision-making. Ultimately, it seeks to clarify not only how decisions are made, but also how they ought to be made within ethical and rational parameters.
