August met Clotilde De Vaux and fell in love(Bourdeau). Shortly after he started a new topic for his public course called Evolution of Humanity(Bourdeau). Vaux died not long after, fueling his desire to create a new religion called the Religion of Humanity(Bourdeau). This new Religion was based on his works in positivity(Bourdeau).

Comte established many publications to continue his work both on positivity and for the Religion of Humanity(Bourdeau). From 1851 to 1854, he published a four-volume system called Positivity Polity. In 1852, he wrote Catechism of Positive Religion(Bourdeau). He was disappointed by the workers so he wrote Appeal to Conservatives in 1855(Bourdeau). The next year he wrote his mathematical works called Subjective Synthesis(Bourdeau).
