1. 
   The French philosopher who is known as the Father of Sociology is Auguste Comte. Comte advocated a science of society, which he named sociology. It was Comte’s intention that there be one science of society to take its place alongside the various physical sciences, he stated the need for a “science of man”. He urged the use of natural science techniques in the study of social life. Comte also originated positivism, a philosophic doctrine that incorporated his views on sociology.
   
2. 
   Auguste Comte was born in Montpellier, France, on Jan. 19, 1798. His father, Louis, was a tax official. Auguste studied at the Йcole Polytechnique, in Paris, from 1814 to 1816. In 1818 he became secretary to the Comte de St-Simon, a pioneer socialist. Beginning in 1826, Comte delivered private lectures to some of the leading French scholars and scientists of the day. These lectures became the basis of his most famous work, the six-volume “Course of Positive Philosophy” which was published between 1830 and 1842. In 1827, two years after his marriage to Caroline Massin, Comte suffered a mental breakdown. After his recovery he was on the staff of the Йcole Polytechnique from 1832 to 1842. In his four-volume “System of Positive Polity” published between 1851 and 1854 Comte formulated a concept called “religion of humanity”.
   
3. 
   Comte is best known for his “law of the three stages”. According to this “law” man’s explanations of natural and social processes pass through three stages – the theological, the metaphysical and the positive. In the first stage, man sees these processes at the work of supernatural powers. In the second, he explains them by means of such abstract ideas as “causes” and “forces”.
   
4. 
   In the third stage, he accumulates factual data and determines relationships among the observed facts. Comte believed that astronomy, physics, chemistry, and biology had evolved through these stages. He sought to organize sociology along “positive” lines. Comte died in Paris in Sept. 5, 1857.
