Comte's Logical Positivism Is Not Logical

Comte’s Logical Positivism is not Logical By Anthony J. Fejfar, B.A., J.D., Esq., Coif © Copyright 2009 by Anthony J. Fejfar When I was a philosophy major in undergraduate school I was taught that Comte’s Logical Positivism is defined as, “rigorous logical inferences from sense experience.” After reading Comte, I must disagree. In fact, Comte rejects logic in favor of fascist feeling. Comte also reject Reason. Comte is a stupid philsopher. He only mentions Decartes and Bacon in passing and says nothing about Hume’s empiricism or Kant’s Critical Idealism. On the whole, Comte’s Positivism is patently absurd and not worth reading and certainly cannot be cited for authority for any reasonable scholarly position. Comte is trashed.
