Talk:Marquis de Condorcet

message: I don't know how to fix the following sentence "The Condorcet-O'Connors published a revised edition between 1847 and 1849." because I have no idea what is meant by "Condorcet-O'Connors".  Is it the name of a publisher? or a person?

message: "Girondists who favored a peaceful reconstruction of France" hmmmm.... this phrase is embarrrassing to say the least :
Ok the Girondist were less radical than the Montagnards but the Girondists voted for war while Robespierre was opposed... Is war a peaceful reconstruction ?

message: "Unusually for French noblewomen, she was erudite, intelligent, and well-educated". It was actually part of the education of a young girl of noble birth to learn foreign languages, especially italian, in order to sing some operas tunes. Also they were often erudite, as the example of Mme De Stael, or even Mme de Maintenon a century before shows it. It is a "cliché" to portrait the noblewomen as illiterate. They enjoyed litterature and arts as much as the men did. PaulOgier 22:27, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The article currently says, "Ahead of his time in many respects as an 18th century thinker...". Born and dead in the 18th century, I'd think he was exactly in his time as an 18th-century thinker. Maybe this should be "Ahead of his time as a philosopher"? --ESP 21:00, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think you understand what that sentence is saying. It is stating explicitely that, although his dates ARE in the 18th century, he was ahead of his time (... in whatever aspect follows that ellipse, at least). It is not saying that he lived in a prior century but somehow obtained a status as an 18th century thinker as you have interpreted. MarcelB612 (talk) 04:49, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

message: As it turns out, it's inaccurate to use the 1911 template on this article.  when I wrote the bulk of this article, I used the 1911 Encyclopedia as a reference, but was careful to take notes from a variety of sources, and wrote the article from that.  No literal text was copied.  I still sucked at citing sources in here, but was fantastic by 2002 WP standards ;-) -- RobLa 04:57, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, but then shouldn't the EB article at least be listed as a reference? - Jmabel | Talk 05:40, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The commentary at the end of the Arrest and Death section seems highly speculatory.  Which historians say this?  Is the parenthetical material verifiable?  If it is, this feels like it should be sourced.  If it isn't, it shouldn't be there. 146.243.4.157 13:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The 1911 Britannica entry on Condorcet is considerably better and more extensive than the current one.  Maybe uniting the two would be a good idea?

replies: text: It wasn't as easy to "declare an officer dead" back in 1794 when Marquis de Condorcet died.  Sources about the cause of his death were also not clear back in 1794.  Trusting the government was difficult in 1794. -- RobLa (talk) 01:02, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
