Principes De Philosophie Positive (1868)

Principes De Philosophie Positive is a philosophical work written by Auguste Comte in 1868. The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores different aspects of Comte's philosophy. The first part focuses on the history of science, tracing the development of human knowledge from the ancient Greeks to the modern era. The second part discusses Comte's theory of the three stages of human development, which he believed were theological, metaphysical, and scientific. In the third part, Comte outlines his vision for a new social order, which he called ""positivism."" This new order would be based on scientific principles and would replace traditional religion and metaphysics as the basis for human thought and action. Overall, Principes De Philosophie Positive is a seminal work in the history of philosophy, laying the groundwork for the development of modern positivism and influencing a wide range of thinkers in fields such as sociology, psychology, and economics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
