Abstract

This paper proposes a different point of view about the interpretation of EU models. It looks at the role of OR and AND aggregations in their construction and gives a fairly general setting for the study of these connectives. Finally, it examines which conditions may justify the traditional EU models and which novelties may derive from their weakening.
