Auguste Comte's doctrine of positivism was both a philosophy of science and a political philosophy designed to organize a new, secular, stable society based on positive or scientific, ideas, rather than the theological dogmas and metaphysical speculations associated with the ancien regime. This volume offers the most comprehensive English-language overview of Auguste Comte's philosophy, the relation of his work to the sciences of his day, and the extensive, continuing impact of his thinking on philosophy and especially secular political movements in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Contributors consider Comte’s reasons for establishing a Religion of Humanity as well as his views on domestic life and the arts in his positivist utopia. The volume further details Comte's attempt to apply his "positive method," first to social science and then to politics and morality, thereby defending the continuity of his career while also critically examining the limits of his approach.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Love, Order, and Progress is an excellent reference work on August Comte. Many aspects of positivism, as Wernick writes, are ‘hard . . . to digest, or indeed take seriously’. It is one of the merits of this volume to look beyond this negative reputation in order to show the originality of Comte’s philosophy. The contributors show clearly Comte’s crucial role in the emergence and development of some scientific disciplines. ― H-France Review
The chapters in this volume provide the most comprehensive and ambitious assessment in English of Comte’s many projects. Contributors exhaustively analyze Comte’s achievements across a formidable range of subjects within the philosophy of science and social and political thought. They remind us again of the often provocative achievements and widespread influence of this many-sided and now too-neglected thinker. ― Gregory Claeys, coeditor of The Cambridge History of Nineteenth-Century Political Thought
These excellent essays-all by leading scholars of 19th-century intellectual history-discuss all aspects of Comte's thought. ― Choice
This volume offers a badly needed authoritative, state-of-the-art, comprehensive account and analysis of the many and very important contributions of Auguste Comte to philosophy, the history and philosophy of science, and related fields. It is the best possible introduction to the thought and legacy of Comte available in English. ― Georgios Varouxakis, Queen Mary University of London
This book should become the standard work in English on Comte’s philosophy. ― The HOPOS Journal
