Synopsis :

""A General View of Positivism"" is a philosophical treatise written by Auguste Comte, one of the founders of sociology and positivism. The book provides an overview of Comte's positivist philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of empirical observation and scientific inquiry as the basis for understanding the world. Comte argues that positivism offers a more rational and objective approach to knowledge than traditional metaphysical and theological systems. The book also explores Comte's ideas about the evolution of human society, including his belief in a three-stage historical development from theological to metaphysical to positivist modes of thought. Overall, ""A General View of Positivism"" is a seminal work in the history of philosophy and sociology, and remains influential in contemporary debates about the nature of knowledge and the role of science in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur: 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. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form.
