Excerpt from The Positive Philosophy
A stronger reason was that M. Comte's work, in its original form, does no justice to its importance, even in France; and much less tn England. It is in the form of lectures, the delivery of which was Spread over a long course of years; and this extension of time ne cessitated an amount of recapitulation very injurious to its interest and philosophical aspect. M. Comte's style is singular. It is at the same time rich and diffuse. Every sentence is full fraught with meaning; yet it is overloaded with words. His scrupulous hon esty leads him to guard his enunciations with epithets so constantly repeated, that though, to his own mind, they are necessary in each individual instance, they become wearisome, especially toward the end of his work, and lose their effect by constant repetition. This practice, which might be strength in a series of instructions spread over twenty years, becomes weakness when those instructions are presented as a whole; and it appeared to me worth while to con dense his work, if I undertook nothing more, in order to divest it of the disadvantages arising from redundancy alone. My belief is that thus, if nothing more were done, it might be brought before the minds of many who would be deterred from the study of it by its bulk. What I have given in this volume occupies in the origi nal six volumes averaging nearly' eight hundred pages: and yet I believe it will be found that nothing essential to either statement or illustration is omitted.

Excerpt from The Positive Philosophy
It was under such convictions as these that I began, in the Spring of 1851, the analysis of this work, in preparation for a translation.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book embarks on an intellectual journey through the history of human thought, exploring how our understanding of the world has evolved over time. The author argues that human knowledge progresses through three distinct stages: the theological, the metaphysical, and the positive. In the theological stage, supernatural beings are believed to be the cause of all phenomena. The metaphysical stage replaces supernatural beings with abstract forces and entities. Finally, the positive stage focuses on discovering the laws of phenomena through observation and reasoning. The author delves into the historical development of various sciences, including mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry, and biology, showcasing how they have transitioned through these stages. He emphasizes the significance of the positive philosophy, which he believes is the ultimate stage of human intellectual development. The positive philosophy, according to the author, offers a framework for understanding the world based on empirical evidence and scientific inquiry, leading to advancements in knowledge and societal progress. This book is not just a historical account but also a call for a new way of thinking. The author advocates for the embrace of the positive philosophy, which he believes is essential for addressing the challenges of the time. By understanding the laws that govern phenomena, we can gain greater control over our world and shape a better future for humanity. The insights offered in this book provide a foundation for a more rational and scientific approach to understanding the universe and our place within it.
