In Comte's original work on positivism, he attempted to outline a
general perception of positivism, how it can be applied to society
and how society would work should positivism be applied. J.H.
Bridges' translation, originally published in 1865, this version
first published in 1908, manages to simplify and clarify Comte's
views of positivism and how it is related to the thoughts, feelings
and actions of humankind as well as how positivism can be applied
to philosophy, politics, industry, poetry, the family and the
future. This title will be of interest to students of sociology and
philosophy.

French philosopher and social scientist AUGUSTE COMTE (1798-1857)
developed the notion of sociology as a field that could be studied,
invented the term altruism, and in this groundbreaking work,
created a system of principles and ideas-a rational "religion"-that
has since come to influence humanism across the Western world. In
Volume I, Comte offers an overview of human history as distilled
through the "positive" perspective; details the positivism of
mathematics, astronomy, biology, physics, and chemistry; and
refines the functioning of human consciousness as an aspect of
positivism. First published in English in 1853, this is an
extraordinary synthesis of thought that is required reading for
anyone wishing to understand the development of the scientific,
secular mindset of the modern world.
