Video Exercise – summarise and comment upon the video ‘Sociology – Auguste Comte’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhVamhT4Q3s ).
Write about 500-600 words.
Some things to think about:
Why did Comte want to set up his religion/what was the point of it/what was he trying to achieve?
What is the link between his religion and Enlightenment thinking?
Why do you think it was not universally successful?
What are the valuable aspects of his project?
The following video (‘The Last Religion’) may also be helpful to you in writing your piece but is not that needed use the first link this is only for extra help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPBl89l6Sgo
