A prominent response is Expected Value Maximisation (EVM)-the view that under axiological uncertainty, an option is better than another if and only if it has the greater expected value across axiologies. But the expected value of an option depends on quantitative probability and value facts, and in particular on value comparisons across axiologies. We need to explain what it is for such facts to hold. Also, EVM is by no means self-evident. We need an argument to defend that it's true. This book introduces an axiomatic approach to answer these worries. It provides an explication of what EVM means by use of representation theorems: intertheoretic comparisons can be understood in terms of facts about which options are better than which, and mutatis mutandis for intratheoretic comparisons and axiological probabilities. And it provides a systematic argument to the effect that EVM is true: the theory can be vindicated through simple axioms. The result is a formally cogent and philosophically compelling extension of standard decision theory, and original take on the problem of axiological or normative uncertainty. 410 0$aIdeen and Argumente 610 $aNormative uncertainty. 610 $aexpected value. 610 $aintertheoretic comparisons. 610 $arepresentation theorems. 676 $a121.8 700 $aRiedener$b Stefan$f1988-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01261025 712 02$aSchweizerischer Nationalfonds (SNF)$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996445847803316 996 $aUncertain Values$92927625 997 $aUNISA
