The School of Life: Auguste Comte



Always interesting and entertaining, The School of Life presents Auguste Comte*:

"The 19th century thinker Auguste Comte invented a religion without a God in it. It was a fascinating move that deserves to be studied today."

* In the video, The School of Life get some facts wrong about Positivism in Brazil. Unfortunately, the Temple of Humanity in Rio de Janeiro isn't open until this day (the video was published in May 2016), because since 2009 it's closed to the public due to a big crack in the ceiling. Also, besides Rio, the city that was most influenced by Comte's ideas was Porto Alegre, where you can find still open the only Temple of Humanity built from scratch to that purpose.
