Auguste Comte & Positivism

Meer over het boek

The book explores the evolution of human understanding as proposed by Auguste Comte, who identified three distinct phases in society's pursuit of truth: the theological, metaphysical, and positive. As the first sociologist, Comte's framework provides a foundation for analyzing societal development and the transition from religious and abstract explanations to scientific reasoning. This work delves into the implications of Positivism for sociology and its relevance in contemporary discussions about knowledge and belief systems.
