Auguste Comte's pioneering work in sociology and philosophy, particularly his development of positivism and the Law of Three Stages, revolutionized the social sciences. His introduction of the term 'sociology', his model of social evolution, and the concept of 'altruism' have significantly influenced sociological theory and practice. Comte's legacy persists in the functionalist perspective and the ethical implications of his work.
