  • Beschreibung: <jats:p xml:lang="en"> This essay reanalyzes the game theory interpretation by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern of Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Final Problem.” The usefulness of this interdisciplinary hermeneutic is then supplemented by lateral and philosophical thinking as prompted by subsequent tales involving Doyle’s detective. </jats:p>
