"A General View of Positivism" by Auguste Comte outlines the philosophical and social framework of Positivism, a doctrine that seeks to synthesize human knowledge and guide societal progress. Comte argues that true philosophy must encompass all aspects of human life―thoughts, feelings, and actions―forming a comprehensive system that can address both individual and collective needs. He critiques the limitations of theological and metaphysical systems, which failed to integrate practical life and moral considerations effectively. Positivism, originating from practical life, extends its influence to all domains of thought, ultimately prioritizing the affective elements of human nature. Comte emphasizes that the intellect should serve the social sympathies, advocating for a synthesis where the heart guides the intellect. This approach aims to resolve the historical conflict between reason and emotion, offering a stable foundation for social order and progress. Comte envisions Positivism as a unifying doctrine that can replace theology by providing a moral basis for society, fostering cooperation among philosophers, the working class, and women. He highlights the potential of Positivism to inspire the arts and imagination, suggesting that it can lead humanity towards a more harmonious and progressive future.

Isidore Marie Auguste François Xavier Comte (19 January 1798 - 5 September 1857) was a French philosopher, mathematician and writer who formulated the doctrine of positivism. He is often regarded as the first philosopher of science in the modern sense of the term. Comte's ideas were also fundamental to the development of sociology; indeed, he invented the term and treated that discipline as the crowning achievement of the sciences.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Auguste Comte, considered by some to be the first ¿philosopher of science,¿ was perhaps most famous for founding the theory of Positivism: a framework of thinking and living meant to engender unity across humanity, backed by love, science, and intellect.Positivism itself is a combination philosophy and way of life. Here Comte lays down the various tenets of the philosophy, describing what he views as the six major characteristics of the system. Comte goes into surprising detail, going so far as to describe minutiae like how children should be educated, the structure of a unified global committee of nations, new flags, calendars, the role of the arts, and so on. He ends the book with what he calls the ¿Religion of Humanity,¿ a secular religion meant to replace the traditional religions that people of the time were becoming disillusioned with.The book and the theory are both very much products of the time. Comte was born around the end of the French Revolution, and lived in Paris during that time when republican ideas, respect for science, and a revolutionary and forward-thinking spirit made fertile ground for change. He viewed Positivism as the single solution to most of the problems of the day, including Communism, the plight of the working class, the shift away from traditional religion, and the constant war and strife that had plagued humanity.Comte¿s theories gained a huge following: you might even recognize the Positivist motto, ¿Order and Progress,¿ inscribed on Brazil¿s national flag. While Positivism and its executive arm, the Church of Humanity, today only seem to survive in any significant number in Brazil¿and even there in a greatly declined state¿its theories were hugely influential in the emergence of many ¿ethical societies¿ and secular church movements around the globe. 458 pp. Englisch.
