  • TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Condorcet and the Progress of the Human Mind


    Tuesday 17 September 2024 is the 281st anniversary of the birth of Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas de Caritat, also known as the Marquis of Condorcet, and usually known to posterity simply as Condorcet. He was born in Ribemont in Picardy, on this date in 1743.


    Condorcet was a true believer in the Enlightenment creed of the indefinite perfectibility of man, and he wrote a history of humanity to illustrate this progress in the past and to predict continued progress in the future.
