Discover a comprehensive plan for social renewal grounded in science and moral purpose.

This book presents Positivism as a framework for understanding how society can progress by aligning political life with ethical, practical, and social needs. It explains how a rational, evidence-based approach can shape education, public opinion, and governance while preserving liberty and social order. A central idea is the creation of a new spiritual power—a Religion of Humanity—that guides public life without relying on outdated doctrines.

Readers will encounter clear explanations of how different social forces—political leadership, the working class, women, and culture—fit into a reform program. The text traces how public opinion and organized education can support a more orderly and prosperous society, with a focus on practical reforms that resonate with everyday life.

How Positivism reframes politics, education, and moral life
The role of the working class and public opinion in social change
The place of women and families in building a humane society
The connection between art, religion, and social progress

Ideal for readers curious about philosophy of society, social reform, and the practical path to order and progress.

Excerpt from A General View of Positivism

The object of Philosophy is to present a systematic view of human life as a basis for modifying its imperfections; The Theological Synthesis failed to include the practical side of human nature; But the Positive spirit originated in practical life; In human nature, and therefore in the Positive system, Affection is the preponderating element; The proper function of Intellect is the service of the Social Sympathies; Under Theology the Intellect was the slave of the Heart; under Positivism, its servant; The subordination of the Intellect to the Heart is the subjective principle of Positivism; Objective basis of the system: Order of the external World, as revealed by Science; By it the selfish affections are controlled; the unselfish strengthened; Our conception of this External Order has been gradually growing from the earliest times, and is but just complete; Even where not modifiable, its influence on the character is of the greatest value; But in most cases we can modify it; and in those the knowledge of it forms the systematic basis of human action; The chief difficulty of the Positive Synthesis was to complete our conception of the External Order by extending it to Social Phenomena; By the discovery of sociological laws social questions are made paramount; and thus our subjective principle is satisfied without danger to free thought; Distinction between Abstract and Concrete laws. It is the former only that we require for the purpose before us; In our Theory of Development the required Synthesis of Abstract conceptions already exists; Therefore we are in a position to proceed at once with the work of social regeneration; Error of identifying Positivism with Atheism, Materialism, Fatalism, or Optimism. Atheism, like Theology, discusses insoluble mysteries

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a systematic exploration of "Positivism," a philosophy that seeks to understand and improve human life based on science and reason. Emerging in response to the perceived limitations of theology and metaphysics, Positivism emphasizes the importance of observable facts and the laws that govern them. The author argues that human society, like the natural world, operates according to discoverable principles. By understanding these principles, we can address social problems and work towards a better future. The book delves into various aspects of Positivism, including its intellectual foundations, its implications for social reform, and its potential impact on different groups within society, such as women and the working class. Central to the author's vision is the concept of "Humanity" as a guiding principle. This book advocates for a society where reason serves the needs of human compassion and where progress is achieved through cooperation and understanding. Ultimately, this book challenges readers to re-evaluate their assumptions about the world and to consider how Positivism might offer a path towards a more just and fulfilling human experience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330934326_0
