n .
A system of philosophy originated by M .
Auguste Comte ,
which deals only with positives .
It excludes from philosophy everything but the natural phenomena or properties of knowable things ,
together with their invariable relations of coexistence and succession ,
as occurring in time and space .
Such relations are denominated laws ,
which are to be discovered by observation ,
experiment ,
and comparison .
This philosophy holds all inquiry into causes ,
both efficient and final ,
to be useless and unprofitable .
