| | | | Dates: | 1785 | | | | Abstract: | It is suggested that this manuscript draft "was written for the court of Charles III of Spain and for the plan of a Madrid academy of sciences. In his text, Condorcet tries to sell the idea of a scientific academy and all its advantages, and he treats questions of academic structure and organization at length. Also, what is most important, Condorcet makes the argument for the academy as an independent center of a professional scientific career" (McClellan 1977:241). Contains also an extract from the [minutes?] of the academie des sciences, May 12, 1785, consisting of a report of committee on this article. | | | | Call #: | Mss.506.C75 | | | | Extent: | 1.0 Volume(s) | | | | Sections: |
