Abstract

As in Chapter 18, ‘representatives’ are understood purely functionally— as objects which reflect certain individual/collective preferences. This approach is applied to several travel alternatives considered by an academic team taking a trip together. The team members have different wishes, such as whether to visit a natural or cultural attraction, whether to spend one or two days on travel, what mode of transportation to take, and so forth. Since various travel alternatives reflect more or less completely these wishes they are considered representatives of the collective preferences and are evaluated using the indices of popularity and universality. Finally, the optimal travel alternative is chosen as well as the plan of future outings that best meets the wishes of the group. The plans consist of several trip alternatives regarded as representative bodies—parliaments or magistrates—which jointly optimally represent the collective wishes.
