Contemporary decision theory is a highly specialized field involving advanced mathematical devices. On the other hand, it is linked with other disciplines, like economics or psychology. The present paper analyses some basic issues connected with the concept of decision. I consider them as philosophical in the analytic sense. After an introductory and historical survey, the paper passes to problems of defining decisions, the structure of decision processes and, finally, kinds of decision theories. The problem of the rationality of decisions is taken as one of the most important. The paper tries to show how the analysis of decisions is related to logic, epistemology and philosophy of science.
