Short Script: Auguste Comte – Father of Sociology

🎙️[Intro]
📢 “Welcome to Sociology Pathshala! I’m Subrata Majumder. Today, let’s learn about the Father of Sociology – Auguste Comte.”

🎙️[Main Script – English + Bengali]
👨‍🏫 Auguste Comte (1798–1857) was a French philosopher.
He is known as the Father of Sociology because he was the first person to use the term "Sociology" in 1838.

📚 He believed that society, like nature, follows certain scientific laws.
This belief led him to develop the concept of Positivism.

📌 What is Positivism?
Positivism means that real knowledge comes only from scientific observation and facts, not from imagination or religion.

🔁 He said that society develops in three stages:

1. Theological Stage – Society explained by religious beliefs

2. Metaphysical Stage – Abstract and philosophical reasoning

3. Scientific Stage – Logical, scientific thinking rules society

🗣️ Auguste Comte বলেছিলেন, সমাজকে বুঝতে হলে বিজ্ঞান যেমন প্রকৃতিকে ব্যাখ্যা করে, তেমনই সমাজকেও বিজ্ঞান দিয়ে বিশ্লেষণ করতে হবে। এটাই ছিল তাঁর পজিটিভিজম ভাবনা।

🎙️[Outro]
🎯 So remember, Auguste Comte gave sociology its name and shaped it as a science.
