Commentaire sur l'Esprit des Lois de Montesquieu 1806 is a critique of Montesquieu's pessimistic appraisal of democracy in De l'Esprit des Lois. While minister to France in the 1780s Jefferson saw this work in manuscript. It so impressed him that he arranged for its publication in France and translated it anonymously for publication in America. Looking back at this work in a letter from 1811 Jefferson commended it for correcting De l'Esprit des Lois. While other studies "nibbled only at its errors" he told his correspondent this work rebutted them "with a depth of thought precision of idea of language and of logic which will force conviction into every mind. I declare to you Sir in the spirit of truth and sincerity that I consider it the most precious gift the present age has received.": The Writings of Thomas Jefferson V:566-571.

Otherwise very good and very scarce. ìCondorcetís most significant and fruitful endeavor was in a field entirely new at the time. The subject was one that departed from the natural sciences and mathematics but nevertheless showed the way toward a scientific comprehension of human phenomena taking the empirical approach of natural science as its inspiration and employing mathematics as its tool. Condorcet called this new science ësocial mathematics.í It was apparently intended to comprise.a statistical description of society a theory of political economy inspired by the Physiocrats and a combinatorial theory of intellectual processes. The great work on the voting process published in 1785 is related to the latter. Condorcet there sought to construct a scheme for an electoral body the purpose of which would be to determine the truth about a given subject by the process of voting and in which each elector would have the same chance of voicing the truth.No doubt the results obtained in the Essai díapplication de líanalyse were modest ones. ëIn almost all casesí Condorcet said ëthe results are in conformity with what simple reason would have dictated; but it is so easy to obscure reason by sophistry and vain subtleties that I should feel rewarded if I had only founded a single useful truth on a mathematical demonstrationí Essai p. ii. One must nevertheless recognize in this work.the first large-scale attempt to apply mathematics to knowledge of human phenomenaî D.S.B. Brunet VI col. 472.

Mazzei emigrated to America from Italy in 1773 and introduced the cultivation of grapes and olives to the United States. He became a neighbor of Jefferson in Virginia settling near Monticello at Jefferson's request and this association led to their long friendship and the author's acquaintance with Franklin and Adams. A staunch Republican Mazzei took an active role in the Independence movement. In this work he outlines the history of the American colonies the causes of the Revolution and the economy and government of the United States. Also discussed are Indians slavery emigration and the Society of the Cincinnati. The book was a contemporary success and remains an important work which Malone characterizes as "probably the most reliable of all the works of the period on the United States" Thomas Jefferson 2:109-110. Jefferson aided Mazzei in the compilation of the work while acting as American minister in Paris.

2 pièces reliées en un volume in-8, broché, couverture de papier moderne. Ensemble de deux pièces distribuées séparément: le "Discours" ainsi que son minutieux plan de mise en application sous forme de "Projet de décret". L’un des projets les plus radicaux de réforme de l’éducation nationale pendant la Révolution. Bien que Girondin (député de Saône-et-Loire), Masuyer critique le plan de Condorcet et de Romme, jugé "destructeur de l’égalité et générateur de despotisme", pour proposer un projet global "d’éducation nationale". Si tous les hommes sont égaux en droit, l’instruction publique doit être commune à tous, gratuite et graduelle et les établissements d’enseignement proportionnellement répartis sur l'ensemble du territoire. La réforme est financée par le produit de la vente des biens ecclésiastiques. Cf. A. Soboul, 'Girondins et Montagnards', Actes du colloque, 1975, p. 38 sq. (Martin & Walter, III, 23372 et 23374).

1983Gutes Exemplar; Seiten minimal nachgedunkelt. - Italienisch. - Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas Caritat, Marquis de Condorcet (* 17. September 1743 in Ribemont; † 29. März 1794 in Bourg de l'Égalité, jetzt Bourg-la-Reine) war ein französischer Philosoph, Mathematiker und Politiker der Aufklärung. Condorcet war ein überzeugter Aufklärer, ein Liberaler und kultureller Neuerer der Moderne vor und während der Französischen Revolution. Er trat 1790, kurz nach der Verkündung der Menschenrechte und der Bürgerrechte, vehement dafür ein, diese auch den Frauen zu gewähren. … (wiki) // Nella realtà dell'istruzione francese negli anni settanta e ottanta del XVIII secolo, ancora assillata dal vuoto creato dalla cacciata dei gesuiti, l'evoluzione delle concezioni educative di Condorcet, attraverso i suoi scritti inediti conservati alla Bibliothèque de l'Institut a Parigi e pubblicati ora per la prima volta, permette di cogliere uno spaccato originale sui nessi tra istruzione e politica, istruzione e cultura, istruzione e sensibilità pedagogica nella Francia ddl'Ancien Regime. La ricerca di un umanesimo laico da contrapporre al modello dell'umanesimo gesuitico è seguita in uno studio introduttivo e nelle note che corredano la pubblicazione dei testi nel quadro della volontà di rinnovamento della philosophie, in cui Condorcet, ultimo philosophe, compì la propria formazione prima di diventare l'artefice della nuova scuola creata dalla rivoluzione francese. Da Locke all'abate di Saint-Pierre, da d'Alembert a Diderot, da Turgot a Helvétius, da d'Holbach a Mably, da Condillac a Rousseau, le figure che più contarono nel cammino intellettuale di Condorcet e il quadro politico-istituzionale dell'epoca, evidenziato attraverso una documentazione che va dai periodici agli atti governativi, dai decreti regi ai verbali delle assemblee del clero, mettono così in luce un'originale risposta nel contempo pedagogica, politica e culturale ai tentativi riformistici nella Francia prerivoluzionaria.
