Abstract

Robert Aumann has played an essential and indispensable role in shaping game theory and much of economic theory. He promotes a unified view of the very wide domain of rational behaviour, a domain that encompasses areas of many apparently disparate disciplines, like economics, political science, biology, psychology, mathematics, philosophy, computer science, law and statistics. His contributions have had a most profound impact on the social sciences.
