| Gaia: | If Auguste Comte is known as the inventor of sociology, he is less well known as utopian thinker. Indeed recent surveys and discussions of utopism exclude his work entirely. This article examines Comte’s division of methods into objective and subjective and his recourse to utopia. Three major concepts were introduced by Comte in his utopian projet: altruism, sociocracy and the religion of Humanity. The author investigates the consequence of such an endeavour for Comte’s own science of sociology. |
