  • Adolf von Harnack, Werner Jaeger, and the Crisis of Weimar Culture

    Robert Powers, Robert L PowersBOOKAdolf von Harnack, Werner Jaeger,…2024

    The theologian Adolf von Harnack (1851-1930) and the philologist Werner Jaeger (1888-1961) bear witness to the rich, boundary-defying diversity of academic - and bourgeois - culture during the Weimar Republic. Separated in age by nearly half a century but united by common concern for pressing theological and societal problems and professional ties to the University of Berlin, Harnack and Jaeger both acted as representatives of theology and classi…

  • Majority rule for profiles of arbitrary length, with an emphasis on the consistency axiom

    Open AccessF R McMorris, Henry Martyn Mulder et al.ARTICLEMathematical Social Sciences2021References: 33

    This paper considers voting rules for two alternatives, viz. the simple majority rule of K.O. May, the majority rule with bias of Fishburn and others, and the majority rule by difference of votes of Goodin and List, and of Llamazares. These all have been characterized axiomatically for profiles of fixed length, that is, for a fixed population. The aim of this paper is to study analogs of these results in the situation where various populations ar…

  • Zero Dark Thirty

    Robert Power, R G Powers et al.ARTICLEJournal of American History2013Cited by: 1

    Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty is an exercise in instant history and hot-after-the-fact mythmaking, a dramatization of the events leading up to the killing of Osama bin Laden by U.S. Navy Seals (Sea-Air-Land Teams) in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on May 2, 2011. Based on firsthand accounts, it is history and myth, mythic history, and historical myth. But it is also frankly a theatrical film and does not pretend to be a documentary. The look of docum…

  • Removal independence and multi-consensus functions

    Mark Dwyer, Fred R Mc Morris et al.ARTICLEMathématiques et sciences humaines1999

    This analysis is aimed to study Buffon's contributions towards political arithmetic, considered not from the point of view of the historical and technical constitution of demography but by replacing them in the general proposal which commands Buffon's thought. The task for assign to these works their real meaning allows not only to understand the disparity of the judgements they raised up but to enlighten too some of the difficulties they conceal…

  • Further results on neutral consensus functions

    Gary D Crown, Gary Crown et al.ARTICLEMathématiques et sciences humaines1995

    We use a set theoretic approach to consensus by viewing an object as a set of smaller pieces called "bricks". A consensus function is neutral if there exists a family D of sets such that a brick s is in the output of a profile if and only if the set of positions with objects that contain s belongs to D. We give sufficient set theoretic conditions for D to be a lattice filter and, in the case of a finite lattice, these conditions turn out to be ne…
