ОД СОЦИЈАЛНЕ ФИЗИКЕ ДО СОЦИОЛОГИЈЕ
FROM SOCIAL PHYSICS TO SOCIOLOGY

Summary/Abstract: In 1835, Auguste Comte pointed out to the fact of „usurpation“ of his term „social physics“ by the Belgian mathematician and statistician A. Quetelet. Quetelet used the term „social physics“ in the title of his book: On Man and the Development of his Abilities or An Experiment in the Research of Social Physics. Therefore, Comte coined a new term „sociology“. In the 4th volume of his famous work Course, in the chapter „Dogmatic Part of Social Physics“, more precisely in the 47th lesson, under the title: „A Short Evaluation of the Basic Philosophical Attempts in the Creation of Social Science“ written in March 1839, Comte used the word sociologie for the first time.
