Auguste Comte and Positivism - Exploring the Evolution of Sociological Thought through Positivism and Empirical Evidence

John Stuart Mill

Beschreibung

In "Auguste Comte and Positivism," John Stuart Mill offers a comprehensive examination of the philosophical framework proposed by Auguste Comte, the father of positivism. Mill's text is marked by a critical yet appreciative tone, demonstrating his engagement with Comte's ideas on science and society. He navigates through the intricacies of positivism, elucidating its core tenets while also addressing its implications for epistemology and ethical thought. This work is situated in the broader context of 19th-century Enlightenment ideals, reflecting Mill's commitment to empiricism and rationality while simultaneously grappling with the limitations of Comte's systematic approach to understanding social phenomena. John Stuart Mill, a prominent figure in classical liberalism, was heavily influenced by the intellectual milieu of his time, including the works of Jeremy Bentham and the evolution of scientific reasoning. His keen interest in social reform, derived from his background and personal experiences within a utilitarian household, guided his exploration of Comte'Äôs ideas. Mill'Äôs philosophical background and his advocacy for liberty and individuality informed his perspective on positivism, as he sought to reconcile scientific inquiry with ethical considerations. "Auguste Comte and Positivism" is a must-read for scholars and students alike who seek to understand the interplay between science, philosophy, and sociology. Mill'Äôs critical analysis not only enriches our comprehension of positivism but also offers valuable insights into the perennial questions of knowledge, progress, and human values. This book provides a pivotal lens through which to examine the evolution of social thought and is essential for anyone interested in the foundations of modern philosophy.

Islands - Searching for truth on...

Mark Aston

"A spellbinding serial voyage in which encounters with islands across time are gathered, displayed and reburnished. Memoir becomes morality, as the oldest human myths challenge present neglect and political malfunction." – Iain Sinclair
"Illuminating, incisive and beautifully written." – Kirsty Young
"From ancient Crete to modern Canvey, this is a fascinating voyage around island identity, exploring isolation and imagination through a wealth of stories from around the world." – Martha Kearney
"A timely and original exploration of the liminalities of islands and the waters that envelop them: by turns beguiling, enchanting and ultimately affirming." – Sir Anthony Seldon
"This is a huge theme which Mark Easton pursues with vigorous and beautifully clear prose. His archipelagic fascination is contagious. Read this and the maps in your mind will never be quite the same again." – Peter Hennessy
***
No man is an island, wrote John Donne. BBC Home Editor Mark Easton argues the opposite: that we are all islands, and it is upon the contradictory shoreline where isolation meets connectedness, where 'us' meets 'them', that we find out who we truly are.
Suggesting that a continental bias has blinded us, Easton chronicles a sweep of 250 million years of island history: from Pangaea (the supercontinent mother of all islands) to the first intrepid islanders pointing their canoes over the horizon, from exploration to occupation, exploitation to liberation, a hopeful journey to paradise and a chastening reminder of our planet's fragility.
But that is only half of this mesmerising book: aided by the muse he names Pangaea, Easton also interweaves reflections on what he calls 'the psychological islands that form the great archipelago of humankind'. Taking readers on an enchanting adventure, he illustrates how understanding islands and island syndrome might help humanity get closer to the truth about itself.
Brave, intelligent and haunting, Islands is a deep dive into geography, myth, literature, politics and philosophy that reveals nothing less than a map of the human heart.

How to Steal a City - The Battle...

Crispian Olver

How to Steal a City is the gripping insider account of this intervention, which lays bare how Nelson Mandela Bay metro was bled dry by criminal syndicates, and how factional politics within the ruling party abetted that corruption.
As a former senior state official and local government ‘fixer’, Crispian Olver was no stranger to dodgy politicians and broken organisations. Yet what he found in Nelson Mandela Bay went far beyond rigged contracts, blatant conflicts of interest and garden-variety kickbacks. The city’s administration had evolved into a sophisticated web of front companies, criminal syndicates and compromised local politicians and officials. The metro was effectively controlled by a criminal network closely allied to a dominant local ANC faction. What Olver found was complete state capture – a microcosm of what has taken place in national government.
Olver and his team initiated a clean-up of the administration, clearing out corrupt officials and rebuilding public trust. Then came the ANC’s doomed campaign for the August 2016 local government elections. Having lost its way in factional battles and corruption, the divided party went down to a humiliating defeat in its traditional heartland.
Olver paid a high price for his work in Nelson Mandela Bay. Intense political pressure and even threats to his personal safety took a toll on his mental and physical health. When his political support was withdrawn, he had to flee the city as the forces stacked against him took their revenge. This is his story.
