concept of social dynamics and statics Comte developed the theory of social progress, which should be based, according to its author, the story of the human spirit.Social dynamics - is the realm of the study of the laws of the evolution of social forms, sequential change systems and structures, deterministic natural, climatic factors, economic conditions and spiritual and moral efforts of the subjects of human activity.By
social statics Comte include social order and sustainable social systems and structures that are localized in time and space, fastened with a sense of solidarity, social contract, common interests, moral and ethical, legal, and ideological and political standards.Among such structures considered Auguste Comte, is the family, social group, class, organization, nation, state.
social dynamics should lead to progress in the development of society.Conte singled out primary and secondary factors affecting social progress.The primary Conte is considered the spiritual, mental development.Secondary factors he believed race, climate, population growth, average life expectancy.
secondary action, by Comte, only slows down or speeds up the progress of society, which should take place according to certain laws and its stage can not be changed.Comte shared progress in certain areas: the material in which the external improvement of life;physical, which should take place at the improvement of human nature;Intelligent where intelligence evolves and develops the transition from religious to scientific worldview;moral, at which the development of a sense of collectivity.Comte gave essential intellectual and moral spheres.Social dynamics involves three stages of the law that says that the 3 stages of development of human thought are similar to three stages of historical development.
first - theological, it is determined by the period of antiquity and the early Middle Ages until about 1300.Comte divides the stage into fetishism, polytheism and monotheism.In the first period of history (fetishism) people can ascribe life to objects and see them as gods.When polytheism, which was common in ancient Greece and Rome, some deified beings intervention that explains to people the time many of the phenomena.Period of monotheism is related to the emergence and development of Christianity.
metaphysical stage (roughly 1300 to 1800) was seen by Comte as a transition, characterized by the destruction of the old beliefs - a fundamental basis of the peace.The most important events of this era (the Reformation, the philosophy of the Enlightenment, the French Revolution) is accompanied by the spread of negative critical philosophy that led to the decline of authority.Metaphysical spirit of that era gave rise to doubt the moral depravity and political cataclysms.
society in a state of anarchy, we need a new ideology that could fulfill the role of integration.Create such an ideology, thought Conte - a very real problem.Social dynamics as a manifestation of the natural evolution of the law should promote the progressive development of society.
third stage - the positive.It occurs when there is distribution of Sciences, the growth of their social importance, the development of industry and all spheres of life in the fundamental development of the positivist morality.The victory over the selfish altruistic ideals, improve the social sense, the rapid growth of material culture, ensuring justice and peace - that is, by Auguste Comte, social dynamics, which should have led to the progress of society.However, the views of Auguste Comte, many scientists believe utopian.
Social statics and dynamics - two section a general sociological theory that studies society as a single system.
