Auguste Comte |

| Auguste Comte’s positive philosophy, or positivism, abandoned speculation about the nature of reality in favor of scientific investigation. According to Comte, knowledge of all subjects, from astronomy to sociology, should come from the correlation of evidence gathered from investigation and observation. This materialistic approach helped to lay the foundations for modern sociology, which Comte first called social physics. | ||||||
