decision-theory

Formalize the Trolley Problem and its variants as decision-theoretic games under moral uncertainty in R, comparing utilitarian, deontological, and contractualist frameworks through expected moral value calculations.

moral-philosophy
decision-theory

Formalising moral dilemmas as strategic interactions — modelling utilitarian and deontological ethics as payoff specifications, implementing a moral machine framework, and revealing the strategic structure of ethical choice.
