Il s’agit de mettre en relation ses changements d’attitude avec ses expériences personnelles, plus particulièrement avec son échec à se faire accepter et légitimer par les grandes institutions savantes de son temps, dont l’Académie des sciences. Comte est resté scientifiquement marginalisé, peu apte à s’adapter aux nouvelles exigences de la professionnalisation, mais très soucieux d’imposer ses conceptions morales à la société scientifique qui l’a rejeté.Cairn free access
