Cloth shipped at spine ends and split for 1" top and bottom of front edge of spine; damp rippling to rear board and tide marks at bottome outer corner. Isidore Marie Auguste François Xavier Comte (Auguste Comte, 1798-1857) was a French philosopher and writer who formulated the doctrine of positivism, which enjoyed broad popularity during the later 19th century. It sank into an almost complete oblivion during the twentieth century, when it was eclipsed by neopositivism. However, Comte s decision to develop successively a philosophy of mathematics, a philosophy of physics, a philosophy of chemistry and a philosophy of biology, makes him the first philosopher of science in the modern sense, and his constant attention to the social dimension of science resonates in many respects with current points of view. This book on the philosophy of mathematics is the first of its kind. Provenance: Former owner's name stamp on ffep - "H. N. Chute" - Horatio Nelson Chute, 1847-1928, author of Elementary Practice of Physics; The Elements of Physics; First Principles of Physics; Practical Physics; etc.

First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. First Edition. First English translation. Boards rubbed, corners exposed, minor loss from spine head and foot, moderately foxed throughout. 1851 Hard Cover. xi, 687 pp. Translated from the original French by W.M. Gillespie. Possibly the first appearance of Comte's writings in English. Cours de Philosophie Positive and Discours sur l'Ensemble du Positivisme were not fully translated until 1853 and 1865, respectively. This work is a portion of the former, which in its original form comprised six volumes. Comte formulated the doctrine of positivism, and is regarded as the first modern philosopher of science, and a founder of academic sociology (he coined the word 'sociology' and systematically established it as a subject of study). Many of his ideas were distilled from his readings of David Hume and Immanuel Kant. Through the exploration of these concepts and his employment of the scientific method, Comte sought to establish a system of thought that would meet the demands of industrialization, and provide a path forward from the political despotism of the past.
