Men are not allowed to think freely about chemistry and biology: why should they be allowed to think freely about political philosophy? - Auguste Comte

To understand a science it is necessary to know its history.

The object of all true Philosophy is to frame a system which shall comprehend human life under every aspect, social as well as individual. It embraces, therefore, the three kinds of phenomena of which our life consists, Thoughts, Feelings, and Actions.

There are three successive states of morality answering to the three principal stages of human life; the personal, the domestic, and the social stage.
