Answer:
a) true
Explanation:
Auguste Comte firmly believed during his lifetime, that he would come up to find basic principles that could resemble the laws of physics or chemistry.
He constructed the basis for positivist thought, which is an effort to apply the methodology and principles of hard science into social fields.
He coined the term “social physics” originally in the early 1800s hoping that a mechanistic science could help to unveil society's complexities.
However while he observed some important generalizations about society, his effort to construct a new discipline later called Sociology was contested.
