Cours de philosophie positive. Tome II Discours sur l’esprit positif

This second volume contains the famous Discours sur l’esprit positif in three parts. In the first part, Auguste Comte studies the “positivist spirit“ which is more able to organize mental harmony than the theological-metaphysical spirit. Then the philosopher defends that positivism is able to organize society and systematize morality. Finally, Comte defines the conditions for establishing the positivist regime.
