Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. ++This is evidently the U.S. copyright deposit copy, or at least so it seems from the notation on the title page, making it a rather unique copy of a somewhat significant book in the history of the philosophy of mathematics.++ Isidore Auguste Marie François Xavier Comte (19 January 1798 5 September 1857), better known as Auguste Comte, may well be described as being among the first modern  philosophers of science, as well as being one of the founders of the field of sociology and the philosophical/logical doctrine of positivism.  His book on the philosophy of mathematics is the first of its kind in the modern sense of the study.   l The Philosophy of Mathematics, translated from the Cours de Philosophie Positive.translated by W.M. Gillespie.New York, Harper & Brothers, 1851.  xvi, 17-260pp, 6+6pp ads at end.  ++The copy is rebound in simple black cloth, with new endpapers.  Very good copy.++   Comte defines math as a science and not an art early on in the work: "TRUE DEFINITION OF MATHEMATICS We are now able to define mathematical science with precision by assigning to it as its object the indirect measurement of magnitudes and by saying it constantly proposes to determine certain magnitudes from others by means of the precise relations existing between them." "This enunciation instead of giving the idea of only an art as do all the ordinary definitions characterizes immediately a true science and shows it at once to be composed of an immense chain of intellectual operations which may evidently become very complicated because of the series of intermediate links which it will be necessary to establish between the unknown quantities and those which admit of a direct measurement of the number of variables ccexistent in the proposed question and of the nature of the relations between all these different magnitudes furnished by the phenomena under consideration According to such a definition the spirit of mathematics consists in always regarding all the quantities which any phenomenon can present as connected and interwoven with one another with the view of deducing them from one another.".…

6 Volumes. 8vo. pp. 1 p.l., viii, 739, [3]; 724; 845, [2]; xi, 736; 3 p.l., 775, [1]; xxxvii, [1], 904. with half-titles. folding table in Vol. I. modern half morocco, gilt tooled spines, by Henry Young & Sons, Liverpool (significant foxing & browning in Vol. IV & to one gathering in Vol. II, otherwise there is occasional faint foxing). First Edition of Comte's major work. "Comte's sociology was overly intertwined with his conception of the right polity. In Comte's view, society had broken down with the French Revolution. The Revolution had been necessary because the old order, based on outdated "theological" Catholic knowledge, no longer served as a respectable basis for shared opinions; it had been undermined by the progress of the sciences. The Revolution itself offered no grounds for the reorganization of society because it was "negative" and metaphysical in its assumptions. The task, therefore, was to provide a new religion, and a new clergy, that could once again unify society. Comte's solution was a science on which all could agree. In place of the Catholic priesthood, Comte proposed a scientific-industrial elite that would announce the "invariable laws" to society." (Encycl. of Philosophy) "His attempt to link up all science, to relate its development to the progress of society, and to combine it with a system of improvement with humanity in place of an external supreme being, is still one of the major documents of secular philosophy."

First Edition. "[Comte's] political philosophy, elaborated on the basis of his positive sociology, was a noteworthy attempt to reconcile science with religion, and the ideals of the Revolution of 1789 with the doctrine of the counter-revolution of his own timeComte's sociology was overly intertwined with his conception of the right polity. In Comte's view, society had broken down with the French Revolution.
