The aim of this paper is to provide a different, somewhat more general, approach to the axiomatic ranking of opportunity sets in term of freedom of choice. The opportunity ransking is defined axiomatically relative to some standard of freedom or theory of freedom. The paper provides a general...

The paper presents an axiomatic analysis of opportunity ranking within a logical framework. It established that any opportunity or freedom ranking is cimpletely determined by a subjacent logical chain that is interpreted as a freedom standard. However, a preferential interpretation of the chain...

The paper applies a technique developed in artifical intelligence to frame and analyze on the foundational level Sen’s critique of internal consistency conditions in various choice situations

We consider the problem of ranking sets of alternatives. Standard approaches to this problem regard the addition of an alternative to a set containing one element as enhancing choice. We argue that this monotonicity axiom may not be desirable when an agent is uncertain as to the value of this...
