Hierarchy of Science 1822
The Hierarchy of Science was created by Auguste Comte as theory formulated in the 19th Century. The hierarchy of the sciences or classification of sciences is connected with the law of three stages which were society, natural science, and scientific method by observation. Auguste Comte arranged the hierarchy so that each category may be grounded on the principal laws of the preceding category and serve as a support for the following category. -
positivism
Comte was a positivist, believing in the natural rather than the supernatural, and so he claimed that his time period, the 1800s, was in the positivist stage. -
Religion Of Humanity
Comte developed the Religion of Humanity for positivist societies in order to fulfill the cohesive function once held by traditional worship. -
System of Positive Polity
The entire work emphasized morality and moral progress as the central preoccupation of human knowledge and effort and gave an account of the organized society political entity.
