Conditional choice with a vacuous second tier.
This paper studies a generalization of rational choice theory. I briefly review the motivations that Helzner gives for his conditional choice construction (). Then, I focus on the important class of conditional choice functions with vacuous second tiers. This class is interesting for both formal and...

I briefly review the motivations that Helzner gives for his conditional choice construction (). Then, I focus on the important class of conditional choice functions with vacuous second tiers. This class is interesting for both formal and philosophical reasons. I argue that this class makes explicit one of conditional choice's normative motivations in terms of an account of neutrality advocated within a certain tradition in decision theory. The observations recorded-several of which are generalizations of central results in the standard theory of rational choice-are intended to provide further insight into how conditional choice generalizes the standard account and are offered as additional evidence of the fruitfulness of the conditional choice framework. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Synthese is a copyright of Springer, 2016.
