Adventures in Philosophy: Auguste Comte - The Classic Philosophers: Auguste Comte

Auguste Comte (1798-1857) was the founder of modern sociology. His objective was the reform of society and to achieve this end he contended for a positive social science, and worked at it throughout his life. He argued that the theology and philosophy of the Middle Ages represented primitive thought. The new natural sciences indicated that a new social science should be built on observation and experience (positive knowledge). He is a classic example of modern positivist philosophy.
