Benjamin Constant 1767-1830 was one of the most influential liberal political theorists of the early nineteenth century and a prominent figure in French intellectual life after the Revolution and the fall of Napoleon. A gifted writer journalist and parliamentarian Constant argued for constitutional government civil liberties and freedom of expression. His writings-including essays political speeches and novels-helped shape modern liberal thought especially his distinction between the "liberty of the ancients" and the "liberty of the moderns" emphasizing individual rights and representative government. His 1814 work De la liberté des brochures des pamphlets et des journaux defended freedom of the press at a moment when France was transitioning from Napoleonic rule to the Bourbon Restoration making the book an important statement in the early struggle over modern political freedoms. Sophie de Condorcet 1764-1822 the Marquise de Condorcet was a leading intellectual and salonnière of late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century France. Widowed during the French Revolution after the death of her husband the philosopher Marquis de Condorcet she became an important guardian and editor of his works while maintaining a prominent Paris salon that attracted many liberal thinkers and political reformers. A writer and translator in her own right-most notably translating the works of Adam Smith into French-she advocated educational reform women's intellectual advancement and Enlightenment ideals of reason and progress. Her intellectual circle overlapped with many of the liberal political figures active during the Restoration period making a presentation copy from Constant to Madame de Condorcet a meaningful association within the broader network of early modern liberal thought. 1410251.

ESQUISSE D’UN TABLEAU HISTORIQUE

179820608vo pp. viii 389 1 blank; occasional spotting and marking but never heavy; the odd tear to foot with slight paper loss but never affecting text; final leaf stuck to wrapper but verso blank so with no loss of text; uncut in interim wrappers; wrappers worn but sound spine chipped at head and foot with light dampstain to head and old manuscript paper label.First Milan printing uncommon of Condorcet's monumental survey of the history of human endeavour first published posthumously in 1795.An 'ouvrage d'un utilité générale et durable' the Esquisse represents a summation of Concordet's thoughts on the notion of human progress and thus can in some ways be seen as a definitive encapsulation of the enlightenment project or at least of one view of it. Condorcet divides his work into ten époques tracing human history from the initial formation of societies through the development of agriculture the invention of writing the intellectual and scientific achievements of classical Greece the progress not uninterrupted of the sciences the invention of printing and the tense relationship between scientific progress and 'the yoke of authority'. Closing with two chapters on the period from Descartes until the French Revolution and on his expectations for future human progress Condorcet demonstrates his optimism: 'Our hopes for the future state of the human species can be reduced to these three important points: the destruction of inequality between nations; the progress of equality within nations; and finally the real perfection of humanity. Are not all nations bound one day to approach the state of civilisation reached by the most enlightened freest least prejudiced of peoples such as the French and the Anglo-Americans' p.328Concorcet's work was instantly popular with 1795 printings in Paris and Zürich; it was swiftly translated into English printed in both London and Philadephia and German Tübingen before Zatta in Venice published an Italian translation by Luigi Bossi in 1797. The present edition is the first to be printed in French in Italy.Outside Continental Europe OCLC records copies at Connecticut the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts and Durham.

Esquisse d'un tableau historique des progrès de l'esprit humain. - PMM 246 - CAN MAN BECOME PERFECT

179542119Paris Agasse l'an III de la République une et indivisible 1795. 8vo. Bound in a very nice newer pastiche-binding in full mottled calf. Five raised bands and gilt title-label to spine. A very nice clean fresh and attractive copy. VIII 389 pp. The rare first edition of Condorcet's main work "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
