Auguste Comte: Positivism and the Three Stages (European Philosophers)
www.tomrichey.net
Auguste Comte, a nineteenth century philosopher, is most famous for his Law of Three Stages (Theological, Metaphysical, and Positive). He was a pioneer of sociology and the father of positivism, a way of looking at the world based exclusively on scientific evidence independent of religion or metaphysics. In this lecture, I introduce Comte and briefly explain each of the three stages.

He's right, Comte's studies have nothing to do with "positive" feelings but everything to do with positive scientific empirical evidence.
Just now learning about this in my sociology class. Thank you for breaking this down the three stages, it really helped me understand it better.
the lecturer explained this in class but now i understand more after watching this, especially the first stage- Theological, and its substages (fetishism, polytheism & monotheism).. Thank you very much sir. Much love from South Africa❤️️❤️️❤️️
You made it easier to comprehend. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I'm using this philosophy to write my first ever proposal. Your explanations were articulated perfectly. My graditute is off the charts.

I believe I have learnt something useful here today concerning your discussion on the topic.Thanks
Thank you! A lot easier for me to watch and listen than to read in terms that I do not understand. You explained everything well and easy for me to understand.
Sir , you're the best and so informative.... you get your points across with full passion, please don't stop uploading ... thank you so much.
Thank you! I am doing a presentation of Positivism and this is very helpful.
Thanks for putting a little humor in these subjects. It makes learning more fun.
Thank you so much for your very informative discussion. I am a teacher and I used your video to teach my students about the works of Auguste Comte.
Quality video.. This was of a higher standard than much of the lecturing here in Ireland, nice to see ideas presented in the vernacular without all the flowery language. Well done on making it easy to watch and accessible !

Luke Wymer Thanks a bunch for the kind words, Luke! I teach history and went a little outside of my comfort zone for this one, but it was rewarding and it seems that Comte is making sense to a lot of people because of it. "Easy to watch" and "accessible" are two of the best compliments a teacher can get!
Thank you explaining it in a simple yet such an interesting manner. You are an amazing teacher. Really appreciate your help.
god thank you! My Socio-Theory teacher told us to read this INCREDIBLY old book about Comte and it was like reading Shakespeare. Thank you for explaining it in a more modern tone that I can actually understand!
Thank you for the video you explained it in a simple way I could understand.
Very excellent video Tom. I like your personality and your methods of going about explanations. Keep it up!
Thank you! I have a research paper over this topic and your video has helped a lot with my understanding of it. Thank you!
Mr. Richey is so amazing along with his cup. Nice video!
You always break it down into understandables. Which makes it easy to assimilate with today-isms. Thanks!!
i enjoy watching you videos . you go straight to the point and that's very helpful !
I really appreciate the amount of information provided here. Such a big help. Thanks :)
Thanks Tom, for this video. Very useful
Love your explanations! I can really understand the content better now. Much appreciation
Excellent video, Tom. Mucho gracias.

I liked that you expanded on your explanations and descriptions with relatable subjects. For example, the Newton/Einstien thing really gave me an understanding of the point you were explaining. Wish we had a tutor like that...

This was an excellent overview. It's funny that you're back where you started from stage 1 to stage three. "It doesn't make sense." I'm glad you said this was OK since we lack the inherent sensory equipment to perceive such things as the fabric of space-time. I think most people would like to experience the fabric of space time, I find it a worthy challenge to develop augmentation equipment that would allow us to sense this reality.

I am a student at the University Autonoma de Santo Domingo and this semester I am taking a class of Philosophy that is interesting and complicated at the same time ( LOLLL ) . Before I watched this video I was totally confused about that concept of POSITIVISM , now I can say that I am prepared enough to start a real debate about the subject . Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us .
I really understood it better than i expected thanks a lot

Thanks for the explanation about Positivism. What about Interpretivism. Can you explain the differences in research?
Languages other than Southern ....LOL!!!
I'm brazillian and i have a test tomorrow so i'm studying lol sorry for the bad english Thanks for the video ❤ ~>Quando falamos de positivismo, nem sempre falamos de algo positivo, e sim de uma relação ampla com o conhecimento. ~>O positivismo foi utilizado como justificativa para colonizações e tomadas de terra. ~>Comte criou a teoria dos três estados, que determina que o homem desenvolve a sociedade em 3 estados. ~>O primeiro é o Estado Teológico ou Fictício, onde a religião domina tudo e todos; tempos onde a ciência não era popular, ou seja, tudo era explicado através do sobrenatural. ~>No Estado Metafísico ou Abstrato nós encontramos a ciência ainda baseada em eventos religiosos ou esprituoso. Essa foi a época de pessoas como Isac Newton e John Looke. Nesse Estado, começam as críticas e ataques às religiões monoteístas. ~>O Estado Positivo ou Científico é o final, no qual a sociedade seria baseada na ciência e na observação de fenômenos. Seria como uma ciência Independente de crenças religiosas ou fé.
