The Dynamics of Rational Deliberation Revisited

Using the model of deliberation developed in Brian Skyrms' The Dynamics of Rational Deliberation, I will explain away some purported counterexamples to causal decision.  During the course of the discussion I will address the proper role and interpretation of act probabilities in deliberation, and may briefly consider the status of what Huw Price has called "Ramsey's ultimate contingency," which is roughly the idea a deliberating agent is in a position to discount information about she is likely do.
