CEVAP:

Saint-Simon discusses society within an evolutionist and positivist conceptual framework. Accordingly, societies evolve from feudal and military societies to industrial societies. For Saint- Simon, industrial society, which he defines as the “positive” stage, differs from other stages in terms of production, technology, information, science, division of labor, class structure and political structure. This stage will be different from the previous ones due to the advantages provided by positive science and industry. According to Saint- Simon, this positive stage represents a socialist society stage in which all social classes are organized and contribute to production in a collaborative and harmonious way.
