Résumé anglais René Lourau, The Question of the Subject in the Work of Auguste Comte The question of the subject is far from absent in the work of Auguste Comte. It is present in his first doctrine where the subjective method is inseparable form the objective method. The research subject and the social subject in general play an important and even decisive role in the second doctrine, marked by the traumatic discovery of what came to be called the libido. That positive sociology was invented in the nineteenth century by a mathematician-philosophy afflicted early-on by mental troubles is perhaps less significant sociologically, than the deformation of his work by disciples concerned to institutionalize a myth of scientific objectivity in conformity with the social demands of the bourgeoisie following the repression of the February Revolution of 1848 and the Commune of 1871.
