His dissertation, under the supervision of Wesley Cooper, Adam Morton and externally examined by Jan Narveson, cuts across a number of disciplines including ethics, political philosophy, economics and decision theory and presents a critical examination of Gauthier’s account of morality that links rationality with preferences explained by expected utility.
