Summary "Critical Miscellanies (Vol. 2 of 3), Essay 3: Condorcet" by John Morley is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. This essay focuses on the life and philosophical contributions of Marquis de Condorcet, a significant figure during the French Revolution. The work explores Condorcet's thoughts on the perfectibility of human nature and highlights his role as a thinker amid the tumult of revolutionary France. The opening of the essay delves into Condorcet’s background, noting his survival through a pivotal period of revolutionary upheaval, unlike other notable contemporaries like Voltaire and Rousseau. It describes Condorcet as an intellectually driven yet politically isolated figure, who advocated for both social reform and rationality in governance. With insights into Condorcet’s early influences and relationships with other philosophers, the text sets the stage for a nuanced exploration of his contributions to human rights and the advancement of social thought in the unfolding context of revolutionary France.
