Auguste Comte's doctrine of positivism was both a philosophy of
science and a political philosophy designed to organize a new,
secular, stable society based on positive, or scientific, ideas,
rather than the theological dogmas and metaphysical speculations
associated with the ancien regime. This volume offers the most
comprehensive English-language overview of Auguste Comte's
philosophy, the relation of his work to the sciences of his day,
and the extensive, continuing impact of his thinking on philosophy
and especially secular political movements in Europe, Latin
America, and Asia. Contributors consider Comte's reasons for
establishing a Religion of Humanity, as well as his views on
domestic life and the arts in his positivist utopia. The volume
further details Comte's attempt to apply his "positive method,"
first to social science and then to politics and morality, thereby
defending the continuity of his career while also critically
examining the limits of his approach.
