Auguste Comte and Positivism The Essential Writings

Auguste Comte and Positivism The Essential Writings

Although Auguste Comte is conventionally acknowledged as one of the founders of sociology and as a key representative of positivism few new editions of his writings have been published in the English language in this century. He has become virtually dissociated from the history of modern positivism and the most recent debates about it. Gertrud Lenzer maintains that the work of Comte is for better or for worse essential to an understanding of the modern period of positivism. This collection provides new access to the work of Comte and gives practitioners of various disciplines the possibility of reassessing concepts that were first introduced in Comte's writings. Today much of the ordinary business of academic disciplines is conducted under the assumption that the realm of science is essentially separate from the realms of politics and science. A close reading of Comte will reveal how deeply such current ideas and theories were originally embedded in a particular political context. One of his central methodological principles was that the theory of society had to be removed from the arena of political practice precisely in order to control that practice by means of these same sciences. It is in Comte's work that the reader will be able to observe how the forces of social and political reaction began to be powerfully organized to combat the critical forces in its own and later eras. Auguste Comte and Positivism will be of importance to the work of philosophers sociologists political theorists and historians. | Auguste Comte and Positivism The Essential Writings

Demographic Targeting The Essential Role of Population Groups in Retail Marketing

Demographic Targeting The Essential Role of Population Groups in Retail Marketing

This title was first published in 2002: Retailers who ignore the demographics of their customers do so at their peril. Examining the role of age and gender in the behavior and patterns of shoppers this book looks at all shoppers as members of distinct demographic groups each of which marches to the beat of its own drum. We can say a lot about people and their shopping behavior simply by examining their demographic group membership. For example we can say that middle-aged shoppers have less time available for shopping but more money. Such ideas provide valuable information about how to sell to them. Demographic targeting is the key to success when it comes to modern retailing. This book takes a look at shopping from the perspective of demography and considers the demographic group to be a crucial concept for understanding the modern shopper. | Demographic Targeting The Essential Role of Population Groups in Retail Marketing
