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to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content.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
Auguste Comte, born Isidore Auguste Marie François Xavier Comte on January 19, 1798, in Montpellier, France, was a pioneering figure in the field of sociology and philosophy. Known as the father of positivism, Comte introduced a new discipline based on the application of scientific methods to the study of society, which he believed would lead to the improvement of humanity through knowledge and reason. He envisaged a positivist society where religion and metaphysical abstraction would give way to scientific proof and observation. In his book, 'A General View of Positivism' (Discours sur l'esprit positif, 1844), he described this concept in depth, laying the foundation for the positivist approach to philosophy. His ideas profoundly influenced various intellectual domains and prompted further development in sociological theory and research. Comte's rigid classification of the sciences and his emphasis on societal progress were groundbreaking at the time and reverberate in contemporary scientific and philosophical discourse. Despite certain criticisms of his work for its prescriptive nature and the failed prediction of a positivist society replacing religious and metaphysical ideologies, Comte's contributions to the understanding and structuring of social phenomena remain a cornerstone in the annals of social science. His literary style is indicative of the intellectual climate of the 19th century, characterized by an inherent belief in progress and the transformative power of human reason.
