The book "A Course in Positive Philosophy" by Auguste Comte is a multi-factorial work that played an important role in the development of philosophical thought. Originally published in the mid-19th century, this course represents a system of positivism that seeks to combine science, philosophy, and the social sciences. The author proposes a new method of cognition, aimed at observation, classification and generalization of facts, which allows scientific analysis of a social phenomenon. In his book, Comte emphasizes the importance of replacing religious beliefs with human self-improvement and a rational approach to the development of society. Each chapter of this work is an in-depth presentation of concepts and ideas that change the way we think about philosophy.
