Abstract
Over a new abstract model of aggregating individual issues – abstract debates – we introduce an entire class of aggregating operators by borrowing ideas from Abstract Argumentation to Social Choice Theory. The main goal was to introduce rational aggregation methods which do not satisfy the commonly used independence condition in Social Choice Theory. This type of context dependent aggregation is very natural, could be useful in many real world decision making scenarios, and the present paper provides the first theoretical investigation of it.
