Auguste Comte economists, in the that is experts social science and of economics .He was also known as a professional in the social science discipline of economics .He also study, develop and apply theories and concepts from economics and write about economic policy.
I like most of the views, Ideas and thoughts of Auguste Comte because he was one of the first to exclusively apply the methods of natural science to the study of social phenomena .He believed that human behavior must obey strict laws like billiard balls must obey Newton’s laws of motion (universal-laws conception). Human behaviors have a similar source to those governing the behaviors of natural objects like billiard balls. With these laws in hand, the perfect society could then be engineered .Comte maintained the only legitimate models for knowledge were the natural sciences with their empirical methods and the formal disciplines of logic and mathematics.
Hence, for Comte, the social sciences could not be distinct from the natural sciences, logic and mathematics if they were to truly be ‘Scientific’. He believed sociology would be the last and greatest of the sciences, somehow including and integrating all other sciences into a comprehensive whole. While sociology would be methodologically of a piece with the natural sciences, he recognized an important limitation of quantitative and empirical analysis when it comes to social phenomena: Social phenomena, being more complicated still, are even more out of the question, as subjects for mathematical analysis.
