This 1996 book provides a detailed, systematic reconsideration of
the neglected nineteenth-century positivist Auguste Comte. Apart
from offering an accurate account of what Comte actually wrote, the
book argues that Comte's positivism has never had greater
contemporary relevance than now. The aim of the first part of the
book is to rescue Comte from the influential misinterpretation of
his work by John Stuart Mill. The second part argues that this deep
historically-minded concern with the tradition of philosophy for
current philosophical practice places Comte in the same camp as
such well-known post-positivists as Richard Rorty, Charles Taylor,
and Hilary Putnam. Professor Scharff concludes that, even though he
was the first positivist, Comte is also the only positivist who
retains his relevance today.
