Description: Comte: Early Political Writings by Auguste Comte, H.S. Jones Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A translation of Comtes early writings, with scholarly apparatus which places Comte in his historical context. Publisher Description This edition of the French philosopher Auguste Comtes (1798–1857) early essays shows Comte at the heart of the political and intellectual debates of Restoration France. The young Comte forged the central features of his philosophical system in response to the central challenge of the 1820s - how to find a new foundation for political legitimacy and thus to close the revolutionary era. Stuart Joness introduction to this new edition shows how Comte grappled with problems that confronted liberals and counter-revolutionaries alike, and identifies the novelty of his solution. The essays presented in this edition reveal the systematizing character of Comtes intellect, which lay at the root of his enormous appeal to nineteenth-century readers. In addition to the substantial introduction, this volume contains a chronology, biographical information on key figures, and a bibliographical note making this an accessible volume highly suitable for undergraduate use.
