In A General View of Positivism French philosopher Auguste Comte (1798-1857) gives an overview of his social philosophy known as Positivism.

In this English edition of the work, published in 1865, he addresses the practical problems of implementing his philosophy or doctrine, as he also refers to Positivism, into society.

Under the motto 'love, order and progress' Comte wishes humanism to replace organised religion as the object of spiritual worship.
