Où en est la politique positive?

The positive polity is the polity of the positive era. It is the opposite of the metaphysical polity, that is the classical political philosophy, of which Comte believed wrongly that it would soon disappear. It is based upon two principles: no society without government, no society without some form of spiritual power. Government aims at reducing disagreement and strengthening agreement. The theory of spiritual power relates politics with ethics and religion.
