Abstract / Bemerkung
This paper continues Dietrich and List's [2010] work on propositionalattitude aggregation theory, which is a generalised unication of the judgment-aggregation and probabilistic opinion-pooling literatures. We rst propose an algebraic framework for an analysis of (many-valued) propositional-attitude aggregation problems. Then we shall show that systematic propositional-attitude aggregators can be viewed as homomorphisms in the category of C.C. Chang's [1958] MV-algebras. Since the 2-element Boolean algebra as well as the real unit interval can be endowed with an MV-algebra structure, we obtain as natural corollaries two famous theorems: Arrow's theorem for judgment aggregation as well as McConway's [1981] characterisation of linear opinion pools.
