ABSTRACT: In this lecture, I introduce the theory of Nash social welfare (NSW)
function, and discuss its implications for peace and justice, particularly, in
the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We face many other devastating
events in the present world. Because the NSW theory aims to consider such
events, the theory consists of extreme
postulates from the viewpoint of extant social thoughts. As expected, it involves various conundrums at the
foundational levels in the socio-economic and philosophical senses, in
particular, the problems of small communities versus those at the level
of the whole world. To understand such contrast, here, we discuss the subjects
listed in the title of the lecture, that is, the NSW theory, logic and
inductive game theory. These help us consider
managements of the world, as well as their applications to the Russian invasion
of Ukraine. The main text describes how these seemingly independent
subjects are connected in my research development and have important
implications for devastating events.
