Luck theorya philosophical introduction to the mathematics of luck /[electronic resource] :by Nicholas Rescher. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2021. - xxxiii, 90 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Logic, argumentation & reasoning,v.202214-9120 ;. - Logic, argumentation & reasoning ;v.2..

1. Chancy Outcome Situation -- 2. Outcome Luck Assessment and the Luck Equation -- 3. Variant Approaches to Luck -- 4. Some Illustrative Examples -- 5. Luck in Success/Failure Situations -- 6. Basic Luck Theorems -- 7. Luck and Risk -- 8. Managing Luck.

This book is an original-the first-ever treatment of the mathematics of Luck. Setting out from the principle that luck can be measured by the gap between reasonable expectation and eventual realization, the book develops step-by-step a mathematical theory that accommodates the entire range of our pre-systematic understanding of the way in which luck functions in human affairs. In so moving from explanatory exposition to mathematical treatment, the book provides a clear and accessible account of the way in which luck assessment enters into the calculations of rational decision theory.
