«Discurso sobre el espíritu positivo» is the philosophical essay by Auguste Comte, published in 1995 in hardback (133 pages, in Spanish).
Auguste Comte sets out in this text the principles of positivism, a current that places observation and experience as the basis of knowledge. Against theological or metaphysical explanations, he argues that science offers true knowledge and proposes reorganising society on the basis of reason and the scientific method.
Classified within philosophy, the book belongs to the Grandes Obras del Pensamiento collection.
Isidore Auguste Marie François Xavier Comte was a French philosopher, mathematician and writer who formulated the doctrine of positivism. He is often regarded as the first philosopher of science in the modern sense of the term. Comte's ideas were fundamental to the development of sociology, with him inventing the very term and treating the discipline as the crowning achievement of the sciences.
