Answer 1

Hey mate
Answer for your question is.....

Auguste Comte was the first to develop the concept of "sociology." He defined sociology as a positive science. Positivism is the search for "invariant laws of the natural and social world." Comte identified three basic methods for discovering these invariant laws, observation, experimentation, and comparison. He is also famous for his Law of the Three Stages. These three stages are the theological, metaphysical, and positivist. Comte discussed the difference between social statistics and social dynamics; which have been renamed social structure and social change. Comte’s ideas have had a major role in developing structural functionalism. His major goal was to integrate theory and practice.

Answer 2

Auguste Comte, a French philosopher frequently referred to the word "father of sociology"— the first word used in 1838 to refer to the scientific study of society. He thought that all societies should evolve and advance through social, metaphysical and scientific stages. Comte argued that society requires scientific knowledge based upon evidence and facts, not speculation and superstition that characterize social development religious and metaphysical phases. Comte found the science of sociology to be composed of two parts, dynamics or the analysis of the mechanisms through which societies alter. He also thought that sociologists would eventually establish a scientific knowledge base that would steer society in a positive direction.

Explanation:

• He identified sociology as a good science, and Auguste Comte was the first person to establish the concept of sociology. Positivism is a search for the "invariant laws of the natural and social universe" and defines three fundamental ideas for the discovery, study, testing and comparison of these invariant rules. He is also famous for his Law of the Three Stages
• The philosophical, metaphysical and positivist phases are these three. Comte discussed the difference between social and social statistics; the social structure and social change have been changed to include the same. The theories of Comte played an important role in establishing structural functionalism. His key goal was to combine activities and theory.

1. The theological stage refers to the eruption of human divinities. In the earlier stages people believed that the creation of the divine or supernatural was all the phenomena of nature. The natural causes of various phenomena could not be found by adults and children and thus were attributable to supernatural or divine power
2. The theological stage is extended by the metaphysical level. Metaphysical stage implies description of impersonal abstract concepts. People have tried many times to believe that God is an abstract being. They believe that an external entity or force directs things in the universe and decides them. Metaphysical philosophy opposes trust in a concrete God. The nature of inquiry was legal and rational in nature.
3. The Positivity stage refers to scientific explanation based on experiment, observation, and comparison. For their justification, positive explanation are based on a particular system, the scientific method. People are now seeking to create relationships of cause and effect. This stresses analysis and a description of data and evidence. Positivism is a strictly analytical way of looking at the world. This is Comte's best and most mature conduct
