Antoine-Augustin Cournot

Cournot, Antoine-Augustin

Born Aug. 20, 1801, in Gray, Haute-Saône; died Apr. 2, 1877, in Paris. French mathematician, philosopher, and economist. Forerunner of the mathematical school of bourgeois political economy. Professor of mathematics at Lyon (from 1834) and rector of academies in Grenoble (from 1835) and Dijon (from 1854).

Cournot published a number of works in the 1830’s and 1840’s, including Researches Into the Mathematical Principles of the Theory of Wealth (1838), which was one of the first attempts to analyze economic phenomena through mathematical methods. His philosophy eclectically amalgamated the ideas of I. Kant and the positivists. His views became widespread in the last third of the 19th century, when the mathematical school took shape as a distinct trend in bourgeois political economy.
