A General View Of Positivism: Or, Summary Exposition Of The System Of Thought And Life - Translated From The French Of Auguste Comte By J. H. Bridges, A New Edition, With An Introduction (1908), By Frederic Harrison And The Additional Notes In The Last French Edition (Paris, 1907) This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!
Autorenporträt
Isidore Marie Auguste François Xavier Comte (January 19, 1798 - September 5, 1857) was a French philosopher, mathematician, and writer who developed the positivist theory. He is frequently recognized as the first philosopher of science in the modern sense. Comte's theories were also crucial to the formation of sociology; in fact, he coined the name and saw sociology as the pinnacle of the sciences. Comte's work, influenced by Henri de Saint-Simon, tried to repair the social chaos caused by the French Revolution, which he believed signaled the impending transition to a new form of society. He attempted to develop positivism, a new social theory based on science. He had a significant influence on nineteenth-century thought, influencing the work of social theorists like John Stuart Mill and George Eliot. His concept of Sociologie and social evolutionism set the tone for early social theorists and anthropologists such as Harriet Martineau and Herbert Spencer, maturing into contemporary academic sociology as realistic and objective social study presented by Émile Durkheim. Comte's social theories culminated in his "Religion of Humanity," which foreshadowed the 19th-century emergence of non-theistic religious humanist and secular humanist organizations. He may have also invented the term altruisme (altruism).
