Auguste Comte

About this book

This book fills a gap in the market as it is the first major critical reassessment by a major thinker of Auguste Comte's founding sociology for many years

The book critically discusses the contemporary relevance of Comte's disturbing ideas to issues such as modernity, reflexivity, religion, gender, emotion, governance, globalization and post-modernism

It examines the extent to which a critique of the sociology of Auguste Comte is valid more generally for the discipline of sociology today
