Abstract

A man lives according to the philosophy of life he holds. There have been many philosophers of prominence that have been studied, read and quoted but few were as interesting as Comte. By his great diligence and thinking, Comte was driven to a mental unbalance but he recuperated to finish his work on a social reconstruction of the days after the French Revolution. He had a great idea, if it would only have worked out, but alas, his basic hypothesis was wrong and he had no verification for his opinions.

The title that was selected was done so with the idea in mind of having a title completely enfolding the scope of the thesis and the selected title seems to do so. Comte, his life, his works, his philosophy, and a criticism of his philosophy are all contained herein.
