This English edition of The Catechism of Positive Religion was
published in 1891, thirty-four years after the death of Comte, the
French philosopher of science and politics and founder of
positivism, whose work was widely read in the later nineteenth
century. Comte's self-published French original of 1852, translated
here, outlines his progressive ideal of 'sociocracy', which would
provide a systematic basis, free of metaphysics, for intellectual
and moral transactions among humans. Congreve's edition, in common
with others, divides the book into five parts. The introduction
contains two dialogues, entitled General Theory of Religion and
Theory of Humanity. Parts 1 3 respectively consider the
Positivist's private and public 'worship'; 'doctrine', including
the external world and human society and ethics; and 'regime' or
way of life, private and public. The final two dialogues cover
polytheism, monotheism and theocracy. This book remains of interest
as an early precursor of secular humanist ethics.
