{"product_id":"love-order-and-progress-michel-bourdeau-9780822945222","title":"Love, Order, and Progress: The Science, Philosophy, and Politics of Auguste Comte","description":"Auguste Comte's doctrine of positivism was both a philosophy of science and a political philosophy designed to organize a new, secular, stable society based on positive or scientific, ideas, rather than the theological dogmas and metaphysical speculations associated with the ancien regime. This volume offers the most comprehensive English-language overview of Auguste Comte's philosophy, the relation of his work to the sciences of his day, and the extensive, continuing impact of his thinking on philosophy and especially secular political movements in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Contributors consider Comte's reasons for establishing a Religion of Humanity as well as his views on domestic life and the arts in his positivist utopia. The volume further details Comte's attempt to apply his \"positive method,\" first to social science and then to politics and morality, thereby defending the continuity of his career while also critically examining the limits of his approach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Bourdeau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822945223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822945222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2018","brand":"Michel Bourdeau","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072825061631,"sku":"9780822945222","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc54971a-629c-4f91-9c37-56d24b739682.jpg?v=1685444149","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/love-order-and-progress-michel-bourdeau-9780822945222","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
