Item Open Access Religion of humanity revisited(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2001) Ataman, Kemal; Uludağ Üniversitesi/İlahiyat Fakültesi.Auguste Comte is known not only as the founder of sociology, positivism, and history of science, he is also responsible for founding of a new religion: Religion of Humanity. Some scholars have argued that the Religion of Humanity was but a biographical accident resulting from Comte’s platonic love for Clotilde de Vaux. Against these assertions, this article hopes to show that it is misleading to reduce the emergence of a new movement to a single cause. The Religion of Humanity, therefore, is closely related to history, culture, and socio-political background of Europe in general but of French society in particular.
