A set \\({\\mathcal A} = \\{A_1, \\dots, A_n\\}\\) of sets of sentences is called a set of (contextually) complete alternatives if (1) \\({\\mathcal A}\\) has at least two elements, (2) every \\(A_i\\) in \\({\\mathcal A}\\) is consistent, and (3) for every \\(A\\in {\\mathcal A}\\), \\(A'\\in {\\mathcal A}\\) and \\(p\\in A\\), either \\(p\\in A'\\) or \\(\\neg p \\in A'\\).   As a first approximation, the informal statement ``\\(p\\) is better than \\(q\\)'' is translated into \\((p \\& \\neg q) P\\) \\((q \\& \\neg p)\\), where \\(P\\) stands for ``Preferred''. However, the author argues that the translation should rather be \\((p\\;{/_{\\mathcal A}} q)P(q\\;{/_{\\mathcal A}} p)\\), where \\(p\\;{/_{\\mathcal A}} q\\) equals \\(p \\& \\neg q\\) if \\(q\\) does not follow from \\(p\\) in the context \\({\\mathcal A}\\) and \\(p\\;{/_{\\mathcal A}} q\\) equals \\(p\\) otherwise. A pair \\(\\langle A,B \\rangle\\) of complete alternatives, such that \\(p\\;{/_{\\mathcal A}} q\\) is true in \\(A\\) and \\(q\\;{/_{\\mathcal A}} p\\) is true in \\(B\\), is called a representation of the pair \\(\\langle p\\;{/_{\\mathcal A}} q\\), \\(q\\;{/_{\\mathcal A}} p \\rangle\\). Not all representations of \\(\\langle p\\;{/_{\\mathcal A}} q,\\;q\\;{/_{\\mathcal A}} p \\rangle\\) need to be relevant to the comparison between \\(p\\) and \\(q\\); those that are relevant are picked out by a representation function \\(f\\).   Now, let \\(R\\) (at least as good as) be a basic preference relation in \\({\\mathcal A}\\) and \\(f\\) a representation function for \\({\\mathcal A}\\).   Then the weak preference relation \\(R_f\\) is defined by \\(pR_fq\\) iff \\(ARB\\) for all representations \\(\\langle A,B \\rangle\\) of \\(\\langle p\\;{/_{\\mathcal A}} q,\\;q\\;{/_{\\mathcal A}} p \\rangle\\), selected by \\(f\\).   So, the author has shown how ceteris paribus preferences can be derived from basic preferences that refer to a set of contextually complete alternatives.   In section 5 the author argues that further refinement may be attainable by the introduction of a similarity relation on which the representation function can be based. In section 6 it is studied for which properties it holds that if \\(R\\) has this property, then so does \\(R_f\\). And in section 7 the author discusses principles of contraposition, such as if \\(pR_fq\\), then \\(\\neg q R_f \\neg p\\), conjunctive and disjunctive preferences. By examples he illustrates that the positive and negative results of his theorems are well in tune with pre-analytical intuitions.","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1918914$5DCB67C5-45F3-4354-BADF-7BDE2F7111CE","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"48a2830216eefdc24b89ba9895c8f20366f6740d","datavalue":{"value":"03A05","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1918914$E963044B-264B-4993-9642-16DEF551B9A2","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"1f2dce65eaa29334ceb02ec413121f606563f009","datavalue":{"value":"907935","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1918914$AA68C7F2-1F27-463F-9329-AB471D07372F","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"2e4f03e19b5f62ce773c9c6ecf037617d0eb14bf","datavalue":{"value":"ceteris
