Detailed explanation-1: -The law of three stages is an idea developed by Auguste Comte in his work The Course in Positive Philosophy. It states that society as a whole, and each particular science, develops through three mentally conceived stages: (1) the theological stage, (2) the metaphysical stage, and (3) the positive stage.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to Comte, the metaphysical phase is a transitional phase that arises from the inability of the human mind to pass directly from theological to positive thinking. At this stage, the human mind is prepared for positive thinking step by step.
Detailed explanation-3: -Auguste Comte invented the term ‘sociology’ to refer to the study of society. Comte suggested that all societies have three basic stages: theological, metaphysical, and scientific.
