About
"John Pollock aims to construct a theory of rational decision making for real agents - not ideal agents. Real agents have limited cognitive powers, but traditional theories of rationality have applied only to idealized agents that lack such constraints. Pollock argues that theories of ideal rationality are largely irrelevant to the decision making of real agents. We need a theory of "real rationality" in its place. Thinking about Acting aims to do just that."--Jacket.
