Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A General View of Positivism The object of Philosophy is to present a systematic view of human life as a basis for modifying its imperfections; The Theological Synthesis failed to include the practical side of human nature; But the Positive spirit originated in practical life; In human nature, and therefore in the Positive system, Affection is the preponderating element; The proper function of Intellect is the service of the Social Sympathies; Under Theology the Intellect was the slave of the Heart; under Positivism, its servant; The subordination of the Intellect to the Heart is the subjective principle of Positivism; Objective basis of the system: Order of the external World, as revealed by Science; By it the selfish affections are controlled; the unselfish strengthened; Our conception of this External Order has been gradually growing from the earliest times, and is but just complete; Even where not modifiable, its influence on the character is of the greatest value; But in most cases we can modify it; and in those the knowledge of it forms the systematic basis of human action; The chief difficulty of the Positive Synthesis was to complete our conception of the External Order by extending it to Social Phenomena; By the discovery of sociological laws social questions are made paramount; and thus our subjective principle is satisfied without danger to free thought; Distinction between Abstract and Concrete laws. It is the former only that we require for the purpose before us; In our Theory of Development the required Synthesis of Abstract conceptions already exists; Therefore we are in a position to proceed at once with the work of social regeneration; Error of identifying Positivism with Atheism, Materialism, Fatalism, or Optimism. Atheism, like Theology, discusses insoluble mysteries About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
