Reason and Politics – Democracy and Education in the Philosophy of Condorcet
Abstract
This study aims to highlight the role of education in a democratic
society in the political philosophy of Nicolas de Condorcet.
Condorcet refuted legitimising political power on the idea of general
will and postulated to replace it with the notion of reason and
probability of truth. This assumption tightly linked the wellbeing
of democracy with a public education system which, on the one
hand, was to prepare citizens to take an active role in the public
sphere, and on the other, allow them to improve the political system
in which they function in accordance with the progress of the
human spirit.
