Resumo: This thesis aims to study the theoretical framework of Social Mathematics in Condorcet and how he transposed his method by means of analogies, for the study of the development of the history of societies, politics, economy, demography and education. With the Social Mathematics, Condorcet expresses that the objects of this science are "man", his operations of the spirit and the "things" that may be deductible to a common measure of the calculation of values. The empirical mathematical analysis of the number of instances and facts taken from the history offered Condorcet certainty that the most advanced Nations tended to be those that kept the scientific education. In this theoretical framework we place the following problem: to what extent, departing from the objects of Social Mathematics, Condorcet sought do analogies that pointed to the future conditions of society and, in this case, what would be the real role of public instruction for the maintenance of the continuous movement of the human spirit in history? From this questioning, the overall aim of the thesis is to show that the calculation of the objects of Social Mathematics allowed Condorcet predict what were the probable chances of the constant improvement of the human spirit, reason by which, by analogy, he then started to treat public instruction as social constant of the progress of the Lights. Being man and the actions of his spirit the objects of the Social Mathematics, the raison for the existence of the public instruction was to put in motion the formation of a new public spirit. With the compulsory public education, society would rely on a strong antidote to combat the enormous demographic and humanitarian damage caused by ignorance. The methodology used in the research was based on the reading and analysis of basic texts of Condorcet such as: General framework of science that has for object the implementation of political and moral sciences calculation, the Five memories about the public education and an outline of a historical picture on the progress of the human spirit, amongst others that have been written.
