A believer in the development of a rational society through scientific thinking, Nicolas de Condorcet (1743-94) used this 1785 essay to analyse the extent to which mathematical methods can improve the making of majority decisions. He presents several notable results, including Condorcet's paradox, the subject of much twentieth-century work.
