You may not have heard the name Adolphe Quetelet. No, he’s not the man Manchester United have approached to become the new interim manager.
He was a Belgian mathematician and philosopher, whose 19th century influence centred around the probability and average life of mankind.
The purpose of his vocation wasn’t necessarily rooted in the pursuit of some sort of higher meaning, rather, what the average meaning was, what it meant at that moment in time and how it may evolve.
If he had been alive two hundred years later, he may have found a perfect case study in Manchester, England.
