Condorcet, Antoine Nicolas, Marquis de (1743–94) French philosopher and politician. He was the only prominent French philosophe to play any real part in the events of the Revolution. As a GIRONDIN and a friend of the leading revolutionaries Emmanuel Sieyès (1748–1836) and Jacques-Pierre Brissot (1754–93) he was elected to the National Convention. In October 1793 he was condemned by the Revolutionary Tribunal and eventually poisoned himself to avoid the guillotine.
