Marquis De Condorcet
Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas de Caritat Condorcet
"Enjoy your own life without comparing it with that of another."
Oui.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Condorcet's life is summed up by H B Acton in [2] as follows:-
Wholly a man of the Enlightenment, an advocate of economic freedom,
religious toleration, legal and educational reform, and the abolition
of
slavery, Condorcet sought to extend the empire of reason to social
affairs. Rather than elucidate human behaviour, as had been done thus
far,
by recourse to either the moral or physical sciences, he sought to
explain
it by a merger of the two sciences that eventually became transmuted
into
the discipline of sociology.
....
His most important work was on probability and the philosophy of
mathematics. His most important treatise was Essay on the Application
of
Analysis to the Probability of Majority Decisions (1785). This is an
extremely important work in the development of the theory of
probability.
He is known for the Condorcet Paradox which points out that it is
possible
that a majority prefers option A over option B, a majority prefers
option
B over option C, and yet a majority prefers option C over option A.
(Thus,
"majority prefers" is not transitive.)
Condorcet published Vie de M Turgot (1786) and Vie de Voltaire (1789).
In
these biographies he showed that he favoured Turgot's economic
theories
and agreed with Voltaire in his opposition to the Church. ...
