A General View of Positivism is a philosophical treatise written by French philosopher Auguste Comte. Published in 1848, the book lays out Comte's theory of positivism, which posits that the only way to understand the world is through scientific observation and experimentation. Comte argues that all knowledge should be based on empirical evidence and that science should be used to solve practical problems and improve society. The book also discusses Comte's ideas on the evolution of human society and the role of religion in society. A General View of Positivism is considered a seminal work in the development of modern sociology and has had a significant influence on the development of social science and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
