This edition of his early essays from the 1820s is based on a new translation, and aims to make his ideas and the development of his thought accessible to modern readers. A comprehensive introduction establishes the historical significance of Comte's work and shows how his ideas emerged from the rich intellectual turmoil of post-revolutionary France. 700 1 Jones, H.S. 830 0 Cambridge texts in the history of political thought 856 40 |yTable of contents |uhttp://assets.cambridge.org/97805214/69234/toc/9780521469234_toc.pdf
