The Law of Three Stages

Our thirst for knowledge 

For Auguste Comte, there a 3 basic stages that all human beings, as well as their minds go through in the maturation process. These three stages come together because all human beings are trying to search for the knowledge of life. Those 3 stages are Theological Stage where we conclude supernatural forces like god is at work. The Metaphysical Stage, where we look at nature to explain the way the world works. Last the Positivistic Stage, where we look for invariant laws that rule everything around us. At the Oviatt Library, students read material, to understand certain concepts from various subjects they might be interested in. In the process get closer to the ultimate stage according to Comte the Positivistic stage.
