ABSTRACT
The project aims to address the educational work of Condorcet from two problems. The first is the relationship between the educational principles of the author, such as freedom, secularism, gratuity and universality of teaching. The second is the comparison between his two works: Cinco Memórias Sobre a Instrução Pública and Instrução Pública e Organização do Ensino, in order to analyze similarities and differences between the two. We seek to compare those works because of the dissonance in the literature on the subject, for while Cahen states that there is no substantial difference between the two works, Albertone highlights that, in a comparison between the two works, the Project seems to have greater social sensitivity than the Memoirs, thus demonstrating a discontinuity between the works.
