| description | The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how Comte conceives of the human mind both as a biological and an historical phenomenon. The Aristotelian concept of nature as a teleogical process permits an articulation of these two perspectives. Therefore the naturalist hypothesis which allows the collective development of the human mind to be presented as a determinate, continuous, and finite process does not exclude the pre-eminence of sociology. Only this discipline furnishes knowledge of the historical development of the human mind as well as of the organic basis from which this development is deployed. The naturalization of the mind does not, therefore, lead to a theory of an eliminativist type. |
