179546405122Paris, Agasse, An III (1795) ; in-8, broché, entièrement non rogné, couverture bleue muette de parution. VIII pp., 389 pp. avec l’étiquette imprimée (dessinée au dos du brochage).Malgré la mention “deuxième édition”, ce tirage est en tous points conforme à l’édition originale. Ce livre posthume est l’ouvrage le plus important de Condorcet. Souvent considéré comme l’apogée de la Philosophie des Lumières, ce texte est un hymne à la gloire du progès. La notion de progrès existait avant dans le domaine scientifique ou culturel. Mais l’idéologie de progrès de Condorcet, à la suite des Philosophes et surtout de Turgot, s’entendait dans l’ordre de l’esprit et de la morale. L’Esquisse ne veut pas seulement éclairer le présent, mais également maîtriser l’avenir. On retrouvera son influence dans la pensée du XIXe, en particulier chez Saint-Simon et Aug. Comte. Printing and the Mind of Man, n° 246. - En français dans le texte, n°196. État de parution, mouillure dans un angle au début du volume, brochage et quelques feuillets de la fin un peu abîmés dans les marges, un plat détaché, derniers ff. débrochés.

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 'social mathematics.' 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 d'application de l'analyse were modest ones. 'In almost all cases' Condorcet said 'the 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 demonstration' Essai p. ii.
