Rational Ritual
Culture, Coordination, and Common Knowledge
Michael Suk-Young Chwe
This book explores the concept of common knowledge, and how it has been used in rituals across cultures and history. By using game theory, the author analyzes ceremonies that establish authority or aim to coordinate group actions. He argues that common knowledge is what makes these ceremonies powerful, as they create consensus among the audience. The book also shows how common knowledge can be utilized in various fields, and delves into its applications in the digital age.
