Abstract
The problem of extending an order on a set to the power set arises quite frequently in social choice theory. An axiomatic treatment of this problem is provided by this note. In particular, we show that the combination of Gärdenfors' principle of extension with a very mild monotonicity requirement leads to an impossibility result.
