This edition of the French philosopher Auguste Comte's (1798-1857)
early essays shows Comte at the heart of the political and
intellectual debates of Restoration France. The young Comte forged
the central features of his philosophical system in response to the
central challenge of the 1820s - how to find a new foundation for
political legitimacy and thus to 'close' the revolutionary era.
Stuart Jones's introduction to this new edition shows how Comte
grappled with problems that confronted liberals and
counter-revolutionaries alike, and identifies the novelty of his
solution. The essays presented in this edition reveal the
systematizing character of Comte's intellect, which lay at the root
of his enormous appeal to nineteenth-century readers. In addition
to the substantial introduction, this volume contains a chronology,
biographical information on key figures, and a bibliographical note
making this an accessible volume highly suitable for undergraduate
use.
