Nicolas de Condorcet (1743 1794), the innovating founder of
mathematical thinking in politics, was the last great philosophe of
the French Enlightenment and a central figure in the early years of
the French Revolution. His political writings give a compelling
vision of human progress across world history and express the hopes
of that time in the future perfectibility of man. This volume
contains a revised translation of 'The Sketch', written while in
hiding from the Jacobin Terror, together with lesser-known writings
on the emancipation of women, the abolition of slavery, the
meanings of freedom and despotism and reflections on revolutionary
violence. The introduction by Steven Lukes and Nadia Urbinati sets
these works in context and shows why Condorcet is of real interest
today as we reinterpret the meaning of Enlightenment, the very idea
of progress and the founding ideas of social democracy.
