which our actions are directed.”

“Social positivism only accepts duties, for

all and towards all. Its constant social
viewpoint cannot include any notion of
rights, for such notion always rests on
individuality.”

We are born under a load of obligations of every kind, to our

predecessors, to our successors, to our contemporaries. These
obligations then increase or accumulate, for it is some time before we can
return any service. … Any human right is therefore as absurd as immoral.
Since there are no divine rights anymore, this concept must therefore
disappear completely as related only to the preliminary regime and totally
inconsistent with the final state where there are only duties based on
functions.

“Progress, therefore, is not an accident, but

a necessity.”

Instead of civilization being artificial, it is part of nature; all of a

piece with the development of the embryo or the unfolding of a
flower. The modifications mankind have undergone, and are still
undergoing, result from a law underlying the whole organic
creation; and provided the human race continues, and the
constitution of things remains the same, those modifications
must end in completeness.
