| Utility | Axiomatic Utility Theory | Norgaard I 298 Def Utility/Axiomatic Utility Theory: ‘Utility’ in contemporary economics is perhaps most accurately understood as ‘that which represents a person's preferences’ (Broome 1991(1): 3) (see also Harsanyi 1977(2)). This is ‘axiomatic utility theory’, in which the concept of utility means nothing more and nothing less than the value taken by a function describing a person's preferences over a set of alternative goods and services. These preferences must conform to a set of axioms; hence axiomatic utility theory. 1. Broome, J. 1991. Utility. Economics and Philosophy 7: 1–12. 2. Harsanyi, J. C. 1977.
