This work investigates the conceptual and mathematical foundations of utility as a measure of human happiness and decision-making. Louis Narens and Brian Skyrms, both distinguished scholars in the fields of logic and decision theory, synthesize historical philosophical inquiries with modern psychological models. They argue that utility is not merely a subjective preference but a construct that can be rigorously analyzed through the intersection of formal logic, evolutionary game theory, and behavioral psychology.
