Antoine de Condorcet

Antoine de Condorcet was an 18th-century French philosopher and mathematician known for his work on voting methods and social choice theory. He explored how groups make collective decisions, aiming to find fair and logical ways to choose options that reflect majority preferences. His famous idea, the "Condorcet method," involves selecting a candidate who would win in a head-to-head contest against every other candidate. This approach addresses issues with simple majority voting and seeks to improve fairness and representation in decision-making processes involving multiple options or candidates.
