	Auguste Comte
		Comte was known as an arrogant, violent and fiery man. In 1826 he was brought into an mental health hospital, but left it without being cured -- only stabilized by Massin -- so that he could work again on his plan.

		Comte coined the term "sociology", is usually regarded as the first sociologist, and his emphasis on the interconnectedness of different social elements was a forerunner of modern functionalism.

	Auguste Comte, "Positive Philosophy"
		That each branch of knowledge historically progresses through three mutually exclusive kinds of thinking: (1) the theological (based on supernatural absolute knowledge of final causes), (2) the metaphysical (based on abstract principles or forces of origin), and (3) the positive (based on reason and observation for discovery of laws of phenomena).
		Comte suggests they are mutually exclusive ways of understanding--the first is teleological and the second is ontological.
		Since the positive stage recognizes the impossibility of final causes and absolute truth, there would be no expectation of finding "absolute certainty" about phenomena and their variable relations.
