Description

Since the birth of democracy in ancient Greece, the simple act of voting has given rise to mathematical paradoxes that have puzzled some of the greatest philosophers. This title traces the quest by these thinkers to create a more perfect democracy and adapt to the ever-changing demands that each generation places on our democratic institutions.
