Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Aspects of the Study of Society
The chief founder of the science treating of social phenomena was Comte, and for it he coined the unfortunate name of Sociologie. With Mathematics as its base, Comte con structed an ascending scale of sciences, their sequence being indicative of the order of evolution and determined on the principle of increasing complexity and decreasing gener ality, each science resting on the conclusions of the sciences which preceded it. The crowning science of the hierarchy, the one to which all that had gone before led, was that which dealt with the phenomena of human society - Sociology.
