Positivism is a philosophical system that prioritizes scientific verification and rejects metaphysics and theism. Its founder, Auguste Comte, argued that scientific knowledge was the most reliable way to understand the world, and positivism has been influential in sociology and other social sciences. However, critics have argued that positivism is too narrow in its focus on scientific knowledge, ignoring important aspects of human experience and culture.
