RESUMO

This is a theoretical research with philosophical character that looks for evaluation of the place occupied by Condorcet (1743-1794) in the universe of Philosophy and educational thought of 18th century. Its known that the "Century of Lights" attributed enormous importance to the task of educating. However, it is opportune to detach that so great importance is due, notably, to the understanding that this century had about itself. The majority of the intellectuals that were detached in the period believed to live in the century of Philosophy", of the supremacy of reason and of its exercise and, in this direction, the act of educating constituted a kind of compromise with the own time because propagating the lights meant to confer to the human species the necessary instruments so that the development of sciences and arts was no more interrupted. The elaboration of the Encyclopedia, one of the most significant and important enterprises of the Enlightenment since it proposed to inventory the repertoire of the available knowledge to promote the constant acquisition of new lights and so, arming itself, of enormous educative potential, constitutes a good example of the pedagogical optimism shared by the Enlightenment men. The thought of Condorcet, heir of this tradition, represents, in equally exemplary manner, the spirit of the Century of Lights. Beyond the known "historical optimism" and the "theory of the progress", displayed, mainly, in the Esquisse dun tableau historique des progrès de lesprit humain, his work is bearer of traces of originality that cannot be rejected, especially in that it refers to the constitution of Human Sciences, to the equality, freedom and public instruction defences.
