In this general doctrine or system the philosophy of history ranks not as itself a science, but as the division of a science — as the second part of Sociology, the last of the sciences. Sociology is divided into Social Statics and Social Dynamics, and it is the latter which is the Philosophy of History. Social Statics is the theory of the spontaneous order of human society, and Social Dynamics the theory of the natural progress of human society ; the one exhibits the conditions of the social ex...istence of the individual, the family, and the species, and the other the course of human development. It is essential, Comte insists, to regard these two theories as supplementary or complementary of each other. The ideas of order and progress correspond in sociology to the ideas of organisation and life in biology, and are as rigor- ously inseparable. The combination of them is the grand diffi- culty of the science, but of primary importance. It was because he thought he had succeeded in combining them that Comte claimed to be the founder of sociology.
