J.H. Bridges' translation, originally published in 1865, this version first published in 1908, manages to simplify and clarify Comte's views of positivism and how it is related to the thoughts, feelings and actions of humankind as well as how positivism can be applied to philosophy, politics, industry, poetry, the family and the future. This title will be of interest to students of sociology and philosophy. Auguste Comte |
