A comprehensive list of decision theories

Abstract

Since Newcomb’s problem has been proposed in 1969, there has been disagreement about what the right basis for rational decision-making in Newcomb-like problems should be. The two main competing theories are causal and evidential decision theory. However, various alternatives have since been proposed. This page is an attempt at listing and, to some extent, categorizing all of these decision theories, including obscure, unpublished ones.
