Sketch for a Historical Picture of the Progress of the Human Mind. Translated by June Barraclough. With an introduction by Stuart Hampshire

"Condorcet, proscribed by a sanguinary faction, formed the idea of addressing to his fellow-citizens a summary of his principles, and of his conduct: in public affairs. He set down a few lines in execution of this project: but when he recollected, as he was obliged to do, thirty years of labour directed to the public service, and the multitude of fugitive pieces in which, since the revolution, he had uniformly attacked every institution inimical to liberty, he rejected the idea of a useless justification. Free as he was from the dominion of the passions, he could not consent to stain the purity of his mind by recollecting his persecutors; perpetually and sublimely inattentive to himself, he determined to consecrate the short space that remained between him and death to a work of general and permanent utility. That work is the performance now given to the world. It has relation to a number of others, in which the rights of men had previously been discussed and established; in which superstition had received its last and fatal blow; in which the methods of the mathematical sciences, applied to new objects, have opened new avenues to the moral and political sciences; in which the genuine principles of social happiness have received a development, and kind of demonstration, unknown before; lastly, in which we every where perceive marks of that profound morality, which banishes even the very frailties of self-love--of those pure and incorruptible virtues within the influence of which it is impossible to live without feeling a religious veneration"--Preface.

  • "A treatise showing the progressof the human race, moving from savagery and superstition to enlightenment."
  • "Autor, poslední z řady francouzských osvícenských filosofů, politický ekonom a politik, navazoval v noetice na Condillaca a pojetí pokroku na Turgota. V této své knize sledoval, jak se pokrok pojatý jako postupné překonávánípředsudků lepším poznáním vyvíjel v průběhu dějin. Kritériem periodizace nejsou politické a náboženské události, ale intelektuální výboje, technické vynálezy a institucionální změny."
  • "Perhaps the last great work of the Enlightenment, this landmark in intellectual history is the Marquis de Condorcet's homage to the human future "emancipated from its chains" and led by "the progress of reason" and "the establishment of liberty". Writing in 1794, while in hiding, under sentence of death from the Jacobins in revolutionary France, Condorcet surveys human history and speculates upon its future. With William Godwin, he is the chief foil of Malthus's Essay on Population. Portrayed by Malthus as an "elate and giddy optimist", Condorcet foresees a future of indefinite progress. Freed from ignorance and superstition, he argues that the human race stands on the threshold of epochal progress and limitless improvement. Condorcet defies modernist stereotypes of the right and the left. He is at once precursor of the free market and social democracy. This new edition of the original 1795 English translation, is the only English translation of a work of Condorcet currently in print."
  • "Visie van de Franse wiskundige en filosoof (1743-1794) op de vooruitgang van kennis en wetenschap sedert de allervroegste tijden, waardoor de mensheid zich kan ontworstelen aan vooroordelen, bijgeloof en dwingelandij."
