Title: The legacy of positivism
Description: "This book gives a unique historical and interpretative analysis of a widely pervasive mode of modern thought that it describes as the legacy of positivism. Viewing Auguste Comte as a pivotal figure, it charts the historical origins of his positivism and describes his development of the idea of a positive science encompassing the range from the physical to the social and moral sciences."--Jacket.
