The Eight Circulars of Auguste Comte (1882) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161944921)

The Eight Circulars of Auguste Comte is a book written by the French philosopher Auguste Comte in 1882. The book is a collection of eight circulars that Comte wrote during the years 1851 to 1857, which were addressed to his followers and intended to provide guidance and direction for the development of his philosophy of Positivism. In these circulars, Comte discusses his views on the nature of science, society, and religion, and how they are interconnected. He argues that science is the only valid source of knowledge and that it should be used to improve society. He also emphasizes the importance of social order and the need for a new religion based on the principles of Positivism, which he believed would provide a moral framework for society.Comte's ideas were influential in the development of sociology and positivist philosophy, and his circulars provide a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the most important thinkers of the 19th century. This edition of the book includes an introduction by the translator, John Henry Bridges, which provides context and background on Comte's life and work. Overall, The Eight Circulars of Auguste Comte is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, sociology, or science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
