Résumé anglais François-André Isambert: The Idea of a Positive Policy. Ever since the exigency of a positive social science was formulated by Saint- Simon, Auguste Comte and the Saint- Simonians, in the beginning of the XlXth century, it was linked to that of a positive policy. The latter was not a mere application of the first, but a certain conception of the action comprising a rela- tivisation of projects and a prevision. Conversely, « social physiology » as seen by the Saint-Simonians and especially Buchez was not so much pure knowledge as an estimation of the facilities and impediments encountered in a society organising action. The difficulty encountered in order to constitute an objective praxeology, leads in effect to give sociology a purely cognitive role.
