1785réf. 169550Paris: Imprimerie Royale 1785. Calculating the wisdom of crowds First edition of Condorcet's pioneering application of probability theory to collective decision-making "the first large-scale attempt to apply mathematics to knowledge of human phenomena" DSB. Condorcet investigated the probability that the majority decision of an assembly or tribunal was correct and whether rational individual choices produce coherent collective decisions. While recognizing limitations and contradictions it is ultimately a defence of democratic decisions and the wisdom of crowds and a seminal work in social choice theory. "It is mainly to the Essai a ground-breaking investigation into the relationship between voting procedures and collective outcomes that Condorcet owes his modern standing as the founder of social choice. His theory of voting and political decision-making constitutes one of the most sustained elements to be found in the whole corpus of his writings" Williams pp. 207-8. Quarto 247 x 183 mm pp. 2 cxci 1 304. Contemporary mottled calf spine lettered and decorated in gilt marbled endpapers red edges. Slight rubbing ink splash to title page contents browned.

Light age-toning. Internally clean and crisp. A good unsophisticated copy. $450. First English edition. This text represents the intellectual peak of the French Revolution by turning abstract Enlightenment theory into a working legal framework. Known as the "Plan Condorcet" it served as the ultimate manifesto of the moderate Girondin faction. Its rejection by the National Convention marked the precise moment the Revolution swung from rational legal reform into the radical violent Reign of Terror. Shortly after presenting this plan the Jacobins ordered Condorcet's arrest forcing him into hiding where he wrote his famous philosophical masterpiece on human progress before dying mysteriously in a prison cell days after his capture. Published by John Debrett this specific London edition highlights how closely and anxiously the British public followed the political collapse of their neighbor across the Channel.

Edges of boards worn. Corners bumped. Bibliographical notes to front free endpaper. Small ownership stamp to verso of title page. Evenly browned. XII23681: errata pp. The extremely rare first Danish edition of Condorcet's main work "Esquisse d'un tableau historique des progrès de l'esprit humain.1795" "the most fully developed exposition of the progress of man" Printing and the Mind of Man p. 149 and a main work of the Enlightenment as well as of historical thought in general. The author was the creator of what came to found the basis for the modern French system. The great French philosopher political thinker and mathematician M.J.A. Condorcet 1743 - 1794 played a seminal role in 18th century France. He was friends with the likes of d'Alembert Voltaire Turgot etc. and he greatly contributed to the social and political debates of politically turbulent France. As one of the few he advocated a liberal economy equality in public education as well as in gender and race etc. He preached constitutionalism and his thoughts that are still influential today embody those of the Enlightenment and rationalism."A belief in the ultimate perfectibility of man lies at the root of all progressive thinking about the human condition. The "philosophes" and Godwin had familiarized the reading public with this notion; it was left to Condorcet to give it its finest and most durable expression. It was the gospel of nineteenth century that mankind is destined for indefinite future progress. Condorcet looking back and then forward saw proof of this in the growing equality between classes and nations the intellectual physical and moral improvement of man; and he prophesied that popular education on correct principles would strengthen and assure this progress." PMM 246.During the French Revolution Condorcet came to play a dominating role advocating a rationalist reconstruction of society and he championed many liberal causes. In 1791 he became secretary of the Legislation Assembly and the institution adopted his scheme for comprehensive state education which later became the basis of the modern French system. In the struggle between the two political parties the Girondists and the Montagnards Condorcet occupied an independent role but when he opposed the death penalty under the trial of King Louis XVI still supporting the actual trial and the radical Montagnards gained more power Condorcet was branded a traitor and in October 1793 a warrant was issued for his arrest. He now went into hiding for several months almost a year and it is during these months that he writes the work that was to become his most important the main work "Esquisse." "Sketch for a Historical Picture of the Progress of the Human Mind" which was published posthumously the year after his death. In 1794 Condorcet was arrested and two days later he was found dead in his cell -it is unknown whether he committed suicide or was murdered because of fear of fierce reactions that would definitely have occurred had the beloved man been officially sentenced to the death penalty."In the Esquisse" published after his death Condorcet traces the history of man through epochs the first three covering his progress from savagery to pastoral community and thence to the agricultural state. The next five span the growth of civilizations and knowledge down to Descartes and the ninth describes the revolution of Condorcet's own lifetime from Newton to Rousseau. The prophetic view of the tenth epoch shows Condorcet at his most original. He forecasts the destruction of inequality between nation and classes and the improvement intellectual moral and physical of human nature. it exercised considerable influence on Comte. But it is as the most fully developed exposition of the progress of man that Condorcet's work is now remembered and it is this which has given it its lasting appeal." PMM 246. hardcover
