A philosophical trend that insists that all questions (including social and ideological ones) can be solved by means of natural science. Classical positivism was created in the 19th century by the French philosopher Auguste Comte (1798-1857). The most profound critique of many of the attitudes characteristic of positivism was offered in the twentieth century by W. Quine (1908-2000).
