Publisher's Synopsis
The Eight Circulars of Auguste Comte, published in 1882, is a collection of letters written by the French philosopher Auguste Comte. The circulars were originally addressed to his followers and intended to provide guidance on the principles and practices of his philosophy, which he called positivism. Comte believed that society could be understood through the scientific method and that science should be used to improve the social and political organization of humanity. The circulars cover a range of topics related to this philosophy, including the role of religion, the importance of education, and the need for social reform. The book is divided into eight sections, each containing one of Comte's circulars. The first circular provides an overview of positivism and its place in history, while the subsequent circulars delve deeper into specific aspects of the philosophy. Comte's writing style is clear and concise, making the book accessible to readers with a basic understanding of philosophy. The Eight Circulars of Auguste Comte is an important work for anyone interested in the history of philosophy or the development of positivism as a philosophical movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
