The House of Auguste Comte is an apartment-museum in which lived the French philosopher Auguste Comte (1798-1857). Located at 10 rue Monsieur le Prince, in the 6th district of Paris, this is the last residence he occupied, from 1841 until his death in 1857. Philosopher of the first nineteenth century, known for being the inventor of positivism and for having made Sociology a science in its own right, Count proposed to reorganize a society entered into the positive age, that of science and industry, by founding a new political science, sociology. After becoming acquainted with his great platonic love Clotilde de Vaux, his philosophy evolved and continued in the establishment of a new spiritual power, the Religion of Humanity, which was supposed to replace existing beliefs with a new religion without God. From the political point of view, Comte wanted to rely on the proletarians, to whom he gave courses in popular astronomy, on scientists and philosophers. After the philosopher’s death, his disciples took care to preserve the abode that had given birth to his philosophy, thereby respecting the last wishes of their master. Now a museum, the apartment, now owned by an international association, is open to visitors. Once past the door, the visitor discovers the home of the philosopher who remained as he knew it, with its original furniture and the objects that belonged to it. The thematic route recently set up, through a museographic device that preserves the authenticity of the place, informs the visitor about the philosophy of Auguste Comte. Since the spring of 2017, the House has opened more widely to the public by offering a cultural program that goes beyond the traditional guided tours of the apartment: concerts, thematic visits, conferences, plays, exhibitions of contemporary art, photography... A monthly meeting is also proposed with the complicity of a professor of philosophy, Grégory Darbadie: L'Heure Philo

À propos du lieu

Maison d'Auguste Comte
10 rue Monsieur-le-Prince 75006 Paris
  • Paris
  • Île-de-France
Apartment where the philosopher Auguste Comte lived from 1841 to 1857, located on the 2nd floor of the building. Six pieces with period furniture, personal objects of the philosopher, manuscripts and works exhibited in windows. Documentation and research centre on the 1st floor, custodian of most of Auguste Comte’s correspondence. Auguste Comte (1798-1857) was a collaborator of Saint-Simon who contributed greatly to the formation of his thought: a philosophy commanded by the concern to "end the revolutionary epoch", by making the minds converge on a single doctrine, positivism, and to reorganize society by making politics a "positive and physical science". His thought evolved towards a true religious positivism. The positivist society had as its motto "Love for principle, order for base and progress for all".
