Produktbeschreibung

Revolutionary, mathematician, economist, philosopher and politician, Condorcet (1743â 1794) wrote a compelling view of human progress across world history and a remarkably prophetic view of the future. Set in context by the editors' introduction, this revised translation of 'The Sketch' and lesser-known writings shows why Condorcet is of growing interest today.
