Excerpt from Discours sur l'Esprit Positif
L'ensemble des connaissances astronomiques, trop isolément considéré jusqu'ici, ne doit plus constituer désormais que l'un des éléments indispensables d'un nouveau système indivisible de philosophie générale, graduellement préparé par le concours'spontané de tous les grands travaux scientifiques propres aux trois derniers siècles, et finalement parvenu aujourd'hui à sa vraie maturité abstraite. En vertu de cette intime connexité, très peu comprise encore, la nature et la destination de ce Traité ne sauraient être suffisamment appréciées, si ce préambule nécessaire n'était pas sur tout consacré à définir convenablement le véritable esprit fondamental de cette philosophie, dont l'ins tallation universelle doit, au fond, devenir le but essen tiel d'un tel enseignement. Comme elle se distingue principalement par une continuelle prépondérance, à la fois logique et scientifique, dupoint de vue histo rique ou social, je dois d'abord, pour la mieux carac tériser, rappeler sommairement la grande loi que j'ai établie, dans mon Système de philosophie positive, sur l'entière évolution intellectuelle de l'humanité, loi à laquelle d'ailleurs nos études astronomiques auront ensuite fréquemment recours.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, an esteemed piece of scientific literature from the 19th century, examines the evolution of human knowledge through the lens of three distinct stages of intellectual development. The author classifies these stages as the theological, metaphysical, and positive, each representing a unique approach to understanding the world. According to the author, we initially perceive the universe through a theological lens, attributing natural phenomena to divine intervention. Over time, we transition to a metaphysical mindset, seeking explanations in abstract concepts and entities. Finally, we reach the positive stage, where we rely on observation and experimentation to uncover the laws governing nature. The author places particular emphasis on the positive stage, arguing that it marks the pinnacle of human understanding. He asserts that by embracing a scientific approach, we can gain a true and systematic comprehension of the world around us. Through rigorous observation and logical reasoning, we can uncover the relationships between phenomena, allowing us to predict and control our environment. Ultimately, this book offers a profound exploration of the nature of knowledge and the evolution of human thought. By contrasting the strengths and limitations of different intellectual approaches, the author provides a valuable framework for understanding our place in the universe and the pursuit of scientific inquiry.
