This podcast invites listeners to explore the foundational tenets of Positivism as articulated by Auguste Comte, a movement that sought to establish a scientific basis for understanding society and morality. Each episode features a new complete audiobook that examines Comte's influence on philosophy, his later life transformations, and the interplay between science and belief. As we traverse the intricate landscape of Comte's writings, we uncover the tensions between intellect and emotion, and the shifts in perspective that shaped his philosophy into a quasi-religious framework. This is not a single story but a series of unique explorations that challenge our understanding of knowledge, ethics, and progress. Join us to discover a new book with every episode and deepen your engagement with the ideas that have shaped modern thought.]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/7110941/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>Books</category><copyright>Copyright Philosophy Genre</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/aa85930198dd444919d62a88e7a81b94.jpg</url><title>Auguste Comte and Positivism</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/auguste-comte-and-positivism--7110941</link></image><lastBuildDate>Tue, 25 Aug 2026 09:13:09 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>John Stuart Mill</itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Philosophy Genre</itunes:name><itunes:email>spreaker72@podcastlibrary.org</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/aa85930198dd444919d62a88e7a81b94.jpg"/><itunes:subtitle>Delve into the profound realms of philosophy and the evolution of thought with "Auguste Comte and Positivism."
