Specialist Notes
First edition of this treatise by the illustrious French philosopher Auguste Comte (1798-1857) considered the founder of positivism. He extended the scientific method to all fields of investigation, including that of human behavior. In order to reorganize society on a scientific basis, he classified "social physics" or sociology, as he coined it, a science on a par with the others if not the most important. Order and progress mutually reinforce each other and allow social life. (The motto stands out on the Brazilian flag and derives precisely from Comte's definition of positivism "Love as a principle and order as a basis; progress as the ultimate goal".
