Criticism of Comte

http://www.brocku.ca/MeadProject/Bodenhafer/Bodenhafer_1923b.html

This is a link to a paper written by a professor of sociology at Washington University. In this paper Dr. Bodenhafer goes more in-depth about Comte's views towards psychology. I wanted to read more about Comte because ever since Bill mentioned in class that Comte's main objection towards psychology is that the "mind cannot study the mind" I have been asking myself about this. I enjoyed reading more about Comte's thought process towards rejection of psychology. After reading it I think Comte may have been able to accept what psychology is today, he just was very unnerved about where the field was when he learned about it.
