Synopsis
1907. For some time much was said concerning positivism and the positive philosophy. Those phrases, which during the life of Auguste Comte, the eminent thinker who introduced them, had made their way into no writings or discussions but those of his very few direct disciples, have emerged from the depths and manifested themselves on the surface of the philosophy of the age. This books discusses what they represent.

Reissued in its revised 1866 second edition, this is Mill's discussion of the positivist views of French philosopher and social scientist Auguste Comte (1798-1857).

About the Author
John Stuart Mill was an English philosopher, politician and economist most famous for his contributions to the theory of utilitarianism. The author of numerous influential political treatises, Mill s writings on liberty, freedom of speech, democracy and economics have helped to form the foundation of modern liberal thought. His 1859 work, On Liberty, is particularly noteworthy for helping to address the nature and limits of the power of the state over the individual. Mills has become one of the most influential figures in nineteenth-century philosophy, and his writings are still widely studied and analyzed by scholars. Mills died in 1873 at the age of 66.
