Morality vs. Positivism

Introduction

Positivism is a doctrine philosophy founded by Auguste Comte. The term positivism was created by A. Comte himself to describe his system that he believed absolutely new. Positive Philosophy, Politics positive, these are the titles of two main courses. Since the term was extended to the point of no longer confined, in popular usage, meaning that a fairly loose: prevention against metaphysics or religion, Distrust of the major assumptions, or even simple disposition of the mind to focus only certainties most immediate and most tangible property. Hence it is probably too often unseen in positivism as an effort to establish the science independently of metaphysics, a form of relativism hardly new and old of empiricism or criticism modern. Yet positivism is not a simple philosophy of science is a sociology based on science and leading to a religion. (Wright, 2007)

Whatever the value of this design, Earl had is the original author. This does not mean he does not recognize any dependence on the past. It's quite the contrary the entire lineage of great thinkers that leads to positivism. Kant and especially Hume, Condorcet, and Joseph de Maistre, Bichat and Gall, these are, by his own admission, the "six immediate predecessors" of Comte, the Triple philosophical standpoint, political and scientific. Through them, he joined the "three fathers of modern philosophy systematic, Francis Bacon, Descartes and Leibniz. Beyond the middle Ages it seems condensed in St. Thomas, Roger Bacon and Dante who leads "to Prince eternal" thinkers, "the incomparable Aristotle. It must in fairness add to this list the name of Saint-Simon, who was the real instigator of A. Count, although personal resentments have prevented him from paying tribute to his master.

Positive Philosophy 

General method 1 °. - "Positive," said Earl, e st the same thing as real and useful. "Science of reality, the philosophy should be positive manner, and abandon fruitless speculation. What then is its purpose? To end the political and intellectual anarchy, lead to social harmony by restoring harmony between the intellects, as Christianity had done in the sixteenth century. It is, therefore, waive the arbitrary assumptions that have so far lost philosophers. Some, theologians explain the phenomena by the action of one or more wills above phenomena. The others, the metaphysicians, admit causes first or final, of essences and entities, and believe the reason to reach the absolute. The positivist will stick to the facts "valuable to our organization," i.e. d. phenomena perceived by the senses and their laws. Such a philosophy will probably be relative, because instead of determining the causes it will capture that constant relationships between facts, but it will be useful, since it will predict and influence the nature and will be organic because the constancy and consistency that we observe between the laws of nature will print a character growing knowledge of unity and simplicity. Thus the law of gravitation, based on experience, can be reduced to a very simple formula a prodigious variety of astronomical phenomena. Philosophy instead of getting lost in research on the nature, cause first or last destination of the ride, consider this law as the facts as real as it regulates amount of laws and laws, generalizations in generalizations, to design a systematic, practical and accurate universe.

Act 2 Of The Three States

The evolution of philosophy is itself a special case of the evolution law in which all mankind is subject in all its manifestations active. Humanity necessarily passes through three successive stages: the theological or fictitious, in which she believes governed by powers concrete, personal gods, ...
