A chapter in Conversations on Social Choice and Welfare Theory - Vol. 1, 2021, pp 165-169 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Mathematics is crucial in Peter Fishburn’s conversation. After a thesis in operations research, Fishburn is known for the extremely formal approach he developed in utility theory, measurement theory and social choice, but also for contributions to more applied domains such as voting (in particular for his joint work with Steve Brams on approval voting). He explains why he neglected game theory by the kind of formalism he was familiar with.
