Sociology is not a science. It is a system of strategies being used to reach a particular goal.

What is that goal?

“the entire systematisation of human life on the basis of the preponderance of the heart over the intellect.”


That is what Auguste Comte, the father of sociology, revealed in 1851 in the preface to the first volume of his System of Positive Polity

He repeated this thought in the dedication that followed to the memory of his love, Clotilde De Vaux, stating the essential purpose of his work was:

“to systematize human life as a whole on the principle of the subordination of the intellect to the heart.”

Later, he explained:

“ . . . what is meant is, that the intellect should devote itself exclusively to the problems which the heart suggests, . .” SPP. P. 15
