description Lelita Benoit's first book surprises the reader for at least three reasons. Firstly, the author chooses as the object of her study the work of a social thinker who has not attracted, at least in recent decades, the attention of Brazilian intellectuals, most of whom are hostile, in the current phase, to positivist flags, and tend to be reticent ( there are exceptions, of course) regarding the convenience and interest of carrying out in-depth studies of Comte's work. Secondly, Lelita's intellectual investment in carrying out this task is of great proportions, rarely found in Brazilian doctoral theses (since it is one). Thirdly, the result achieved by the author is far-reaching: a systematic and in-depth analysis of Comte's thought.

Firstly, the author chooses as the object of her study the work of a social thinker who has not attracted, at least in recent decades, the attention of Brazilian intellectuals, most of whom are hostile, in the current phase, to positivist flags, and tend to be reticent ( there are exceptions, of course) regarding the convenience and interest of carrying out in-depth studies of Comte's work.

Thirdly, the result achieved by the author is far-reaching: a systematic and in-depth analysis of Comte's thought. O primeiro livro de Lelita Benoit surpreende o leitor por pelo menos três razões. Em primeiro lugar, a autora elege como objeto de seu estudo a obra de um pensador social que não tem atraído, pelo menos nas últimas décadas, a atenção da intelectualidade brasileira, majoritariamente hostil, na fase atual, às bandeiras positivistas, e tendencialmente reticente (há exceções, é claro) quanto à conveniência e ao interesse de se realizar estudos aprofundados sobre a obra de Comte. Em segundo lugar, o investimento intelectual de Lelita, no cumprimento dessa tarefa, é de grandes proporções, raramente encontradas nas teses brasileiras de doutorado (pois que se trata de uma). Em terceiro lugar, o resultado alcançado pela autora é de grande envergadura: uma análise sistemática e aprofundada do pensamento comteano. Universidade Estadual de Campinas.
