What does Game Theory have to do with Plans?
Olivier Roy

Abstract:
The belief-desire model underlying game-theoretical (GT) analysis of
strategic interaction has been criticized by philosopher of action,
such as Michael Bratman, who stressed that it cannot account for the
role played by intentions and plans. How should GT react to this? I
will argue that it already has what it takes to cope with intentions
and plans of ideal agents: the concept of strategy. On the other hand,
I will try to show that plans and intentions can play a key role in
gametheoretical modeling of cognitively bounded agents because, for
such agents, the task of constructing a decision problem is as
important as finding what is the best move to play.
