Auguste Comte and Positivism. ... : Reprinted from the Westminster Review

One of the foremost figures of Western intellectual thought in the late 19th century, John Stuart Mill offered up examinations of human rights, personal and societal rights and responsibilities, and the striving for individual happiness that continue to impact our philosophies, both private and political, to this day. This concise but explosive essay is perhaps the best example of how far-reaching-and necessary on an ongoing basis-his thinking was. In this 1865 work, Mill discusses the rational ""religion"" of French philosopher and social scientist Auguste Comte, reviewing his fel.

  • "Auguste Comte was a French philosopher who developed the doctrine of positivism--which says that authentic knowledge is only what can be proven by the scientific method--in an attempt to ameliorate the melancholy brought on by the French revolution. He influenced a number of eminent thinkers, including John Stuart Mill. Mill's survey of the main principles of his close friend's philosophy is engaging reading for anyone passionate about philosophy."
  • ""For some time much has been said, in England and on the Continent, concerning "Positivism" and "the Positive Philosophy." Those phrases, which during the life of the eminent thinker who introduced them had made their way into no writings or discussions but those of his very few direct disciples, have emerged from the depths and manifested themselves on the surface of the philosophy of the age. The time, therefore, seems to have come, when every philosophic thinker not only ought to form, but may usefully express, a judgment respecting this intellectual movement; endeavouring to understand what it is, whether it is essentially a wholesome movement, and if so, what is to be accepted and what rejected of the direction given to it by its most important movers. There cannot be a more appropriate mode of discussing these points than in the form of a critical examination of the philosophy of Auguste Comte; for which the appearance of a new edition of his fundamental treatise, with a preface by the most eminent, in every point of view, of his professed disciples, M. Littr ̌affords a good opportunity. The name of M. Comte is more identified than any other with this mode of thought. He is the first who has attempted its complete systematization, and the scientific extension of it to all objects of human knowledge"--Chapter.

  • "This book contains Mill's analysis and critique of the positivist system of philosophy advocated by Frenchman Auguste Comte."@en
  • "Pour qui ne connaît l'œuvre de Comte que par ouï-dire et s'en tient au sens actuel de positivisme, la lecture fera l'effet d'une découverte. La présence de Clemenceau au côté de Comte et de Mill témoigne de ce que la politique positive n'était pas moins importante alors que la philosophie positive. La présentation du Cours et du Système est accompagnée d'un examen critique. Depuis 1865, les temps ont bien changé, mais le débat entre les deux auteurs n'a rien perdu de son actualité."
