It presents Comtes influential doctrine of positivism, which promoted personal and public ethics based no longer on metaphysics but on strict scientific method. Volume 2 outlines Comtes new science of social physics. Publisher Description The Positive Philosophy of Auguste Comte is a condensed English version of the French philosophers controversial work, freely translated by Harriet Martineau and published in two volumes in 1853. Martineaus abridged and more easily digestible version of Comtes work was intended to be readily accessible to a wide general readership, particularly those she felt to be morally and intellectually adrift, and Comtes philosophy indeed attracted a significant following in Britain in the later nineteenth century. Comtes doctrine promoted personal and public ethics and social cohesion based no longer on metaphysics but on strict scientific method, and anticipated twentieth-century logical positivism and secular humanism. The second volume of this translation is devoted entirely to Comtes new science of social physics and human progress, and outlines his theories about society and its development through various phases - theological, humanistic and finally scientific.
