Features: Peking University Press has recently launched the "Logical Time and Space Series." The series is planned with the purpose of "advocating rationality, adhering to logic, and promoting correct thinking." It focuses on the popularization and application of logical knowledge, targeting general readers (general reading) and college students (teaching reference books). The main content of the "Logical Time and Space" series is to explore and explain logical issues in various fields of people's social life. The specific writing style is as follows: For a specific field of social life, it highlights the most common logical problems in that field, combining typical cases for explanation and introducing relevant logical knowledge. When introducing logical knowledge, it does not aim for a complete logical system but strives to highlight key points. That is to say, in a specific field, if there are prominent logical problems, we focus on rewriting them. When explaining logical knowledge, to facilitate reader understanding, relevant prerequisite knowledge is introduced when necessary. Decision-making is a rational process, or it should be rational, and therefore, decision-making is the object of study for logic, which studies reasoning. This book explores decision-making in games, i.e., the decision-making process where the strategy behavior of decision-makers is mutually influenced by others' strategy behavior. People can develop their game thinking by applying logic in decision-making.
