Description
Book SynopsisThis volume offers the most comprehensive English-language overview of Auguste Comte's philosophy, the relation of his work to the sciences of his day, and the extensive, continuing impact of his thinking on philosophy.
Trade ReviewThis volume offers a badly needed authoritative, state-of-the-art, comprehensive account and analysis of the many and very important contributions of Auguste Comte to philosophy, the history and philosophy of science, and related fields. It is the best possible introduction to the thought and legacy of Comte available in English."" - Georgios Varouxakis, Queen Mary University of London
""The chapters in this volume provide the most comprehensive and ambitious assessment in English of Comte’s many projects. Contributors exhaustively analyze Comte’s achievements across a formidable range of subjects within the philosophy of science and social and political thought. They remind us again of the often provocative achievements and widespread influence of this many-sided and now too-neglected thinker.""- Gregory Claeys, Royal Holloway, University of London
