	Marquis de Condorcet
		Condorcet was, of course, at once hurried along by it into the midst of the conflicts and confusion of the Revolution.
		Condorcet objected to the assumption of judicial functions by the Convention, objected also on principle to the infliction of the death penalty; but he voted the King guilty of conspiring against liberty and worthy of any penalty short of death, and against the appeal to the people advocated by the Girondists.
		Condorcet was undoubtedly a most sincere, generous and noble-minded man. He was eager in the pursuit of truth, ardent in his love of human good, and ever ready to undertake labor or encounter danger on behalf of the philanthropic plans which his fertile mind contrived and his benevolent heart inspired.

		Condorcet craint la création d'une nouvelle cléricature, scientiste celle-ci, tout aussi immobiliste et conservatrice que le clergé.
		De tels reculs ne sont toutefois pas présentés par Condorcet comme les phases descendantes d'un cycle régulier mais bien plutôt comme des glissements accidentels ou comme des anomalies fâcheuses que la puissance du mouvement des lumières doit tôt ou tard éliminer en accomplissant un pas supplémentaire vers le triomphe du savoir et de la civilisation.
		Cette façon de comprendre l'histoire n'a d'ailleurs pas manqué d'être renforcée quand les thèses évolutionnistes en biologie ont fait oublier les relents de conceptions cycliques qui pouvaient se dégager du fixisme de Cuvier.
