The Positivist Calendar: Or, Transitional System Of Public Commemoration Instituted By Augustus Comte ... With A Brief Expostion Of Religious Positivism

Auguste Comte's positivist philosophy provides the basis for this calendar, which aims to create a new system of public commemoration to replace religious holidays. As Comte saw it, religion was a relic of the past and needed to be replaced by a new, positive philosophy based on science. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into 19th century discussions of religion, politics, and science.
