    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→The trivial converse — that any strategy profile surviving IESDS is consistent with common knowledge of rationality — is not particularly interesting.

    Aumann and Brandenburger's (1995) framework shows that characterizing what CKR permits, not just what it requires, is essential to demarcating the epistemic content of solution concepts.

    Key Terms

    Aumann and Brandenburger(as game theorists cited for their 1995 research)
    Two economists and game theorists who proved an important mathematical result about how people make decisions when they know others are also thinking rationally.
    CKR(as used in game theory)
    An abbreviation for 'Common Knowledge of Rationality'—the assumption that all players in a game are rational and everyone knows this fact about everyone else.
    Demarcating(as used in philosophy of logic)
    Drawing a clear line or boundary between two different categories to show what belongs in one group and what belongs in another.
    Epistemic
    "Epistemic" relates to knowledge—how we know things, what counts as knowledge, and whether we can trust what we believe to be true. It comes from the Greek word for knowledge and is used to describe questions about the reliability and validity of our beliefs and understanding. For example, "epistemic humility" means acknowledging the limits of what you can actually know for certain.

    Solution concepts(as the things whose knowledge-content is being analyzed)
    In game theory, these are predictions or methods for figuring out how rational players will behave in strategic situations.
    framework(Carnap's philosophy of language and logic)
    A structured system of rules or language that must be in place for rational discourse to be possible.
