A General View of Positivism by Auguste Comte on Free Audio Book Download

Auguste Comte was from France and published this book in French in 1844. He made a very great impact on the sciences and claims to have вЂњdiscovered the principal laws of Sociology." Comte says Reason has become habituated to revolt but that doesnвЂ™t mean it will always retain its revolutionary character. He discusses Science, the trade-unions, Proletariat workers, Communists, Capitalists, Republicans, the role of woman in society, the elevation of Social Feeling over Self-love, and the Catholic Church in this book. His goal is to replace theology with philosophy and develop the Religion of Humanity where Imagination is subordinate to Reason as Reason is to Feeling. Positivism can be summed up in this statements from his conclusion: вЂњLove, then, is our principle; Order our basis; and Progress our end.вЂќ This is the 1908 edition of the book.
