Democracy’s Dilemma: Rousseau, Condorcet, and the Elusive Search for the Will of the People
September 10, 2019 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
In collaboration with the UNC General Alumni Association
featuring Georg Vanberg, Professor of Political Science, Duke University
Democracy is often associated with the idea that it serves to ensure that government reflects the “will of the people.” In this lecture, we explore some of the conceptual difficulties in this approach, and consider the implications for how we ought to think about the value of democratic governance.
