圣西门将社会的研究视为物理社会学的一个分支,因为社会是有 机现象的一种类型。作为一种有机体,社会能够通过调查社会的 组织而被研究。这种认识被转译成一种科学的等级,其中物理学 在最底端,社会学在最上端;关于社会学能够被用来重新建立工 业社会的信仰成为孔德思想中的一部分。同时,孔德接受了很多 圣西门关于将科学视为对宗教的功能替代的主张。
Comte gave sociology its name, however reluctantly, because he preferred the label “social physics,” but he did much more: He gave the discipline a vision of what it could be. Few have argued so forcefully about the kind of science sociology should be, and he provided an interesting if somewhat quirky explanation for why this discipline should emerge and become increasingly important in the realm of science. But he made several important points. First, theories must be abstract, seeking to isolate and explain the nature of the fundamental forces guiding the operation of society. Second, theories must be explicitly and systematically tested against the empirical world, using a variety of methods. Third, collecting data without the guidance of theory will not contribute greatly to the accumulation of knowledge about how the social universe operates. Finally, sociology should be used to rebuild social structure, but these applications of sociology must be guided by theory rather than by ideologies and personal biases. Still, there is much to criticize in Comte. He never really developed any substantive theory, aside from the relationship between social differentiation and new modes of integration.
