Question
Joseph de Maistre. Considerations on France. 1796
Ifitwassaid to us that a dice, thrown a hundred million times, always showed only the five numbers I,2,
3.4.and 5.could we believe that there was a 6 on one of its faces? The answer is undoubtedly no and it
would be as obvious to us as ffwe had actually seen it thetone of the six faces was blankor thet one of
the numbers had been duplicated. Very well, if we look at history, we shall see what is called Fortune
throwing dice endlessly for four thousand years: has it ever brought a GREAT REPUBLIC? No. Therefore
this number was not on the dice If the world had witnessed the successive growth of new forms of
government, wewould have no right to dlaim that such and such a form is impossible just because it has
never been known; but the contrary is the case. Monarchies have always been known, and republics have
sometimes been known. The comparisonwith the dice is therefore perfectlyexact: the same numbers
having always been thrown from the dice box of fortune, we are allowed by the theory of probabllities to
Imaintain that there are no others.. Thus, there is nothing new and a great republicis impossible.since
there has neyer been a great republic.
