Abstract

Auguste Comte devoted more to his call to science than to the subject of science, so that he viewed the sciences as either an applied process or a theory or that they were positive sciences or that they were positive and concrete and other abstract sciences where the first concerned with concrete phenomena and treated them while the second was preoccupied with discovering the natural laws that govern these phenomena Its existence is determined as mathematics occupies the base of the ladder because it is concerned with the abstract aspects of all phenomena, followed by the arrangement of mechanics, which Comte mixed with astronomy, then physics, chemistry, biology, and above all, sociology or social physics
