Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a series of lectures by the author on the philosophy and teachings of Auguste Comte, the founder of sociology. Comte discovered immutable natural laws of both social and individual human existence and development, and argued that a positive science of Sociology and a positive science of Morals must necessarily exist. The author's aim in these lectures is not to make propaganda for Comte's religion of Humanity, but to give an accurate account of Comte's work and its significance at a time when it was beginning to become more widely known throughout the intellectual world of Europe. Comte's work stands as an important counterpoint to prevailing religious indifference and materialism, and the author's insights offer a thought-provoking examination of the relationship between science and religion.
