Quotes

“To understand a science it is necessary to know its history.”
“The dead govern the living.”
“Men are not allowed to think freely about chemistry and biology: why should they be allowed to think freely about political philosophy?”
“Reorganisation, irrespectively of God or king, by the worship of Humanity, systematically adopted. Man’s only right is to do his duty. The Intellect should always be the servant of the Heart, and should never be its slave.”
“The object of all true Philosophy is to frame a system which shall comprehend human life under every aspect, social as well as individual. It embraces, therefore, the three kinds of phenomena of which our life consists, Thoughts, Feelings, and Actions.”
“The first condition of unity is a subjective principle; and this principle in the Positive system is the subordination of the intellect to the heart: Without this the unity that we seek can never be placed on a permanent basis, whether individually or collectively. It is essential to have some influence sufficiently powerful to produce convergence amid the heterogeneous and often antagonistic tendencies of so complex an organism as ours.”

Auguste Comte, nome completo Isidore Marie Auguste François Xavier Comte (Montpellier, 19 gennaio 1798 – Parigi, 5 settembre 1857), è stato un filosofo francese, considerato il fondatore del Positivismo. Discepolo di Henri de Saint-Simon, che fu il primo a usare il termine, è generalmente considerato l'iniziatore di questa corrente filosofica. Comte coniò il termine "fisica sociale" per indicare un nuovo campo di studi. Questa definizione era però utilizzata anche da alcuni altri intellettuali suoi rivali e così, per differenziare la propria disciplina, inventò la parola sociologia. Comte considerava questo campo disciplinare come un possibile terreno di produzione di conoscenza sociale basata su prove scientifiche. Volendo sbarazzarsi della metafisica, esalta quasi religiosamente la conoscenza scientifica che mira a osservare per conoscere senza apriorismi. Si richiama comunque a Kant e Leibniz affermando che nell'uomo esistono disposizioni mentali spontanee. Il libro che secondo la maggior parte degli storici segna l'inizio del Periodo positivista è il Corso di Filosofia Positiva, monumentale opera che raccoglie i suoi cicli di lezioni. Negli ultimi anni Comte fondò una sorta di religione atea e scientista, la Chiesa Positivista. La sua citazione «Ordine e progresso» figura sulla bandiera del Brasile (Ordem e progresso).
