Rousseau, Jean‐Jacques (1712–1778)
Jean‐Jacques Rousseau was a musician, composer, playwright, novelist, and autobiographer, but is best known today for his social and political writings, most notably The Social Contract (1762), with its concept of the “general will” and its ringing first line: “Man is born free but is everywhere in chains.” He was and remains a controversial figure. Ridiculed by Voltaire as a nostalgic primitivist, denounced by Maistre as an impious revolutionary…

Comte and the Encyclopedia
Against the current background of renewed publisher interests in encyclopedias, the article examines the modern genealogy of the Encyclopedia project. The article focuses particularly on three moments: Bacon's 'Great Instauration' and attempted fashioning of a 'New Organon' (as against the old one of Aristotle), the Encylopedia of 1751 and its revolutionary-era successors, and Comte's 'system' of positive philosophy. D'Alembert and Diderot's clas…
University
The university is an archaic institution and can claim to have a more or less continuous history over more than two millennia and, at least in the forms that prevail today, could be regarded as a 'Western' institution. However, the combination of globalization and cybernation will set the parameters for the next round of the university's development. A trend will be the growth of global universities, both virtual and land-based. At the same time,…

Auguste Comte and the Religion of Humanity: The Post-theistic Program of French Social Theory
This 2001 book offers an exciting reinterpretation of Auguste Comte, the founder of French sociology. Following the development of his philosophy of positivism, Comte later focused on the importance of the emotions in his philosophy resulting in the creation of a new religious system, the Religion of Humanity. Andrew Wernick provides the first in-depth critique of Comte's concept of religion and its place in his thinking on politics, sociology an…
Dreamworld and Catastrophe: The Passing of Mass Utopia in East and West
dream of the twentieth century was the construction of mass utopia. As the century closes, this dream is being left behind; the belief that industrial modernization can bring about the good society by overcoming material scarcity for all has been challenged by the disintegration of European socialism, capitalist restructuring, and ecological constraints. The larger social vision has given way to private dreams of material happiness and to politic…

From Comte to Baudrillard: Socio-Theology After the End of the Social
The article offers a critical but sympathetic reflection on the development of classical and post-classical French sociology. From Comte onwards, I suggest, the modern French treatment of the social has been preoccupied with socio-theological questions; and even with the radical deconstruction of any society-god, this continues to be the case. There are distinctive historical reasons for this (including the Catholic inheritance and an enduring le…
