«Discurso sobre el espíritu positivo» is the philosophical essay by Auguste Comte, published by Sarpe in hardback (157 pages, in Spanish).
Auguste Comte, credited with coining the term «sociology», here presents the foundations of positivism and argues that human knowledge moves from theological and metaphysical stages to positive science. He maintains that this same evolution should guide the reorganisation of society, under the motto «love, order and progress».
The original title, «Discours sur l'esprit positif», was translated by Consuelo Bergés. This edition belongs to the collection «Los Grandes Pensadores», number 53, and dates from 1984.
For readers interested in philosophy, history of ideas and the origins of sociology.
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.
