AB  - This paper continues Dietrich and List's [2010] work on propositionalattitude
aggregation theory, which is a generalised unication of the
judgment-aggregation and probabilistic opinion-pooling literatures. We
rst propose an algebraic framework for an analysis of (many-valued)
propositional-attitude aggregation problems. Then we shall show
that systematic propositional-attitude aggregators can be viewed as
homomorphisms in the category of C.C. Chang's [1958] MV-algebras.
Since the 2-element Boolean algebra as well as the real unit interval can be
endowed with an MV-algebra structure, we obtain as natural corollaries
two famous theorems: Arrow's theorem for judgment aggregation as well
as McConway's [1981] characterisation of linear opinion pools.
