	'''Positivism''' is the name for the scientific study of the social world. Its goal is to formulate abstract and universal laws on the operative dynamics of the social universe. A law is a statement about relationships among forces in the universe. In positivism, laws are to be tested against collected data systematically. [[Auguste Comte]], who saw Newton's law of gravity as the exemplar—advocated positivism as a means to legitimate the new discipline of [[sociology]]. Herbert Spencer and Emile Durkheim executed this advocacy in formulating laws that were assessed by data. Positivism however, has, never gone unchallenged, particularly in sociology and anthropology; and as a consequence, it has been subject to intense epistemological debate.
