AUGUST COMTES ROLL IN DEVELOPING SOCIOLOGY
“Positivism is the search for invariant laws of the natural and social world”. (1). Auguste Comte, the founder of positivism, is the first to develop the term sociology from his studies of the human mind. (2). To Understand Comtes role in sociology, we must know his background, the Early writings, and the law of the three stages. Comte was born in France on January 20, 1798. (3). At age 14 Comte decided to stop believing in GOD. Comte then decided to step away from his catholic and royalism upbringing . (6). Quite naturally this bold decision caused a wedge between him and his parents. Despite opposition Comte turned to the church of science. It is at E’cole Poytechnique that Comte studied sciences and mathematics . (3). Having lead a student protest comte was expelled from school but still continued to indulge in his biology and history books (6). It was not long until comte met Henri De Saint-Simon and feel into politics (4). Comtes’s passion became Political philosophy in which he was able to publish articles in 1817. (3). Comte published articles that showed his belief in politics (6). He felt that politics is what would make society flourish. Relationships end, and in 1824 Comte ended his relationship with Saint-Simon. (4). The text doesn’t say what happened it only speculates that maybe Comte was upset that Saint-Simon placed his name on Comtes work, rather than giving credit to Comte for his work. However , Comte went on the marry Caroline Massine. In 1826 he began teaching a course of positive philosophy.(3). Comte was hospitalized and then released into the care of his wife (4). He remained ill for 15 years and gradually healed. Comte continued to complete the 6 volume course of positive philosophy. Having no luck finding a job within his allmamata he set to integrate theory and practice within his early writings. Comte used 3 of Saint-Simons ideas based on scientific principles (4)
