Excerpt from Comte and Mill Of industrial aptitudes by the community or its chiefs. Here it would be easy to find relations with Comte's ideal polity; but saint-simon is admittedly incoherent, and his immense projects were never systematically worked out. Now the last thing of which Comte can be accused is incoherence. Even the mechanism of his system is all there to be criticised in detail. It was not strange, though it was regrettable, that he should afterwards repudiate any obligation to Saint Simon. The connection, he declared at last, had only fettered the course of his spontaneous meditations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
