Comte is a thinker who, like Descartes, gives a central role to the power of science, thus putting emphasis on the subordination of practice than the theory. A philosophical orientameto, this tied «[...] à une théorie fausse de l'application, qu'exprime the fundamental positivist maxim "savoir pour prévoir, prévoir pour agir", "writes Jean-François Braunstein in a short essay entitled "Canguilhem, Comte et le positivisme" (1998, p. 110). Here's an excerpt from the fifty-first lesson of the course in which Comte's positive philosophy advocates the need for a preliminary imagination over observation, science compared to the technique for the development of human knowledge:
"This is, therefore, from the simple point Logically speaking, the indispensable office primordial only intended to theological philosophy, the fundamental evolution of our intelligence, in which the progress of the imagination must always precede and are necessary in any field, that observation, for the species as for the individual "(Comte, 1830 - 1842, trad. com. 1979, p. 402).
Comte writes in the Sermon on the positive spirit: "Thus, the true positive spirit consists above all in view to provide, to study what is to conclude what will be, according to the general dogma of the invariability "(1844, tr.. com. 1985, p. 21).
