Condorcet and Modernity explores the interaction between Condorcet's political theory, legislative pragmatism, public policy proposals and the management of change. David Williams examines key topics including rights, the civil order, the Church, the slave trade, women's civil rights, judicial reform, voting and representation, economics, monarchy, power and revolution. He explores the complex links between Condorcet as the visionary ideologist and Condorcet as the pragmatic legislator, and between Condorcet's concept of modernity - the application of 'social arithmetic' to government policies. Based on an extensive array of both printed and manuscript sources, this major contribution to enlightenment studies is a full treatment of Condorcet's politics. 517 3 $aCondorcet & Modernity 676 $a320/.01 700 $aWilliams$b David$f1938 May 22-$01844940 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961393603321 996 $aCondorcet and modernity$94428204 997 $aUNINA
