Who is Auguste Comte

Who is Auguste Comte

Auguste Comte (full name: Isidore Marie Auguste François Xavier Comte; 17 January 1798 – 5 September 1857) was a French thinker who is generally credited for having coined the term "sociologie" (French, meaning "sociology") (. It has recently been discovered that the term had already been introduced in 1780, albeit with a different meaning, by the French essayist Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès (1748-1836).
