Starr PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Today's United States Supreme Court consists of nine intriguingly varied justices and one overwhelming contradiction: Compared to its revolutionary predecessor, the Rehnquist Court appears deceptively passive, yet it stands as dramatically ready to defy convention as the Warren Court of the 1950s and 60s.

Some experts even think that less informed citizens should stay out of politics altogether. As Arthur Lupia shows in Uninformed , this is not constructive. At root, critics of public ignorance fundamentally misunderstand the problem. Many experts believe that simply providing people with more facts will make ...

Georg Cantor: His Mathematics and Philosophy of the Infinite by Joseph Warren Dauben Georg Cantor: His Mathematics and Philosophy of the Infinite by Joseph Warren Dauben PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad One of the greatest revolutions in mathematics occurred when Georg Cantor (1845-1918) promulgated his theory of transfinite sets. This revolution is the subject of Joseph Dauben's important studythe most thorough yet writtenof the philosopher and mathematician who was once called a "corrupter of youth" for an innovation that is now a vital component of elementary school curricula. Set theory has been widely adopted in mathematics and philosophy, but the controversy surrounding it at the turn of the century remains of great interest.
