Auguste Comte, a French philosopher, mathematician, and writer, is well-known for formulating the doctrine of positivism. He is regarded as the first philosopher of science in the modern sense and has greatly influenced the field of sociology. Comte’s work focused on addressing social disorder post-French Revolution by promoting a new social doctrine grounded in science. His ideas on Sociologie, social evolutionism, and the “Religion of Humanity” have left a lasting impact on social thought and have played a key role in shaping modern academic sociology.
