Abstract.
In the present paper we consider a situation in which the individual preferences and the social preference relation are intuitionistic fuzzy and study the compatibility between the Pareto principle and Sen’s minimal liberalism condition. A possible factorization of the intuitionistic fuzzy weak preference relation allows us to prove a possibility result for the case of max-min transitive social preference.
