Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas Caritat, marquis de Condorcet {1743–1794}, who thought that the French Revolution was the dividing line between the past and a 'glorious future', believed there were three outstanding issues in history – the destruction of inequality between nations, the progress of equality within one and the same nation, and the perfecting of mankind."
