This book is a radical reappraisal of positivism as a major
movement in philosophy, science and culture. In examining
positivist movement and its contemporary impact, the author had six
goals. First, to provide a more precise and systematic definition
of the notion of positivism. Second, to describe positivism as a
trend of thought concerned not only with the theory of knowledge
and philosophy of science, but also with problems of ethics,
social, and political philosophy. Third, to examine the development
of positivism as a movement: it was born in the 18th century during
the Enlightenment, took the form of social positivism in the 19th
century, was transformed at the turn of the 20th century with the
emergence of empirio-criticism, and became logical positivism (or
logical empiricism) in the 20th century. Fourth, to reveal the
external and internal factors of this evolution. Fifth, to disclose
the relation of positivism to other trends of philosophy. Sixth, to
determine the influence the positive mind had upon other cultural
phenomena, such as the natural and social sciences, law, politics,
arts, religion, and everyday life.
