Preferred term

judgment aggregation and the discursive dilemma  

Definition(s)

  • This entry explains the important phenomenon of discursive dilemma, which can arise in certain cases of collective judgments in various social institution settings; outlines the main approaches to it; and shows how an interdisciplinary body of research involving philosophy as well as several social sciences has developed around it. Judgment aggregation theory investigates which procedures a group could or should use to form collective judgments (“yes” or “no”) on a given set of propositions or issues, based on the judgments of the group members.
