The essay traces the transformation of the concept of progress in French thought, beginning with Bernard de Fontenelle’s perspective in the late 17th century. Through an examination of Turgot and Voltaire’s contributions, it culminates in Condorcet’s "Tableau historique", written during the height of the French Revolution. The essay delves into the conceptual foundation of progress, as well as the inherent aporias and contradictions that the French "philosophes" left behind for the nineteenth-century discussion.
