This paper discusses the paradox of liberal paretiano remarking their assumptions.This paradox is difficult to be understood as there are philosophical assumptions that are not always taken into account. Since the Paretian liberal paradox is essential in epistemology of social sciences, thus, we will try to deal with their assumptions.The assumptions that must be addressed to approach the paradox are, firstly, Arrow´s impossibility paradox, secondly, Pareto´s efficiency or Pareto´s optimal or social optimal, and thirdly, the ethical presupposition.We can assume that the paradox posed is difficult to solve, although a solution may be possible.
