The Arrow-Sen framework has been used to study multi-criterial evaluation in industrial decision making (Arrow and Raynaud 1986) and in engineering design (Scott and Antonsson 2000; compare Franssen 2005). Anandi Hattiangadi (forthcoming) argues that Arrow’s theorem limits the possibilities for an interpretationist metasemantics, in which the correct interpretation of linguistic expressions is the one that is, judging by relevant criteria, overall best.
