Title: Steven Robertson
Normative theory choice
Abstract: It is a common problem that two normative theories will disagree
about how an agent should act or what an agent should believe in various
situations. Different logics disagree about whether certain deductions are
valid, different decision theories disagree about whether certain decisions
are rational, and different ethical theories disagree about whether certain
actions are morally right. Presented with such disagreements, it is
difficult to determine in a principled way which of two competing theories
should be adopted. In this paper, I offer a framework for theory choice
between normative theories, drawing on and extending the use of theoretical
virtues for theory choice between competing empirical theories. Competing
decision theories that disagree in the case of the Allais paradox are used
as a case study.
