Document Summary
Chapter 1, 2, 3 (i and iii), 5. The philosopher"s fu(cid:374)ctio(cid:374) is to (cid:373)ark the goal. Chapter one: the third estate is a complete nation. Human industry has an ability to perfect the gifts of nature and increase the value of total production by double, tenfold, or hundred-fold. So called utility of a privileged order for performing public service is no more than an illusion, that with no assistance from that order, everything arduous in providing that service is done by the 3rd estate. Who then would dare to say that the third estate does not contain everything needed to form a complete nation: resembles a robust man in chains, subtract the privileged order and the nation would be something more. Not enough to have shown that the privilege far from being useful, can only weaken, it is also necessary to prove that the noble order has no place and is a burden on the nation.
