hi, read your snap review of comte’s book.. just wanted a clarification.. (since I can’t read french).. Is the fourth order translated as The Ethical Order or could it be translated as “The Order of Love”. The reason I am asking is because i read about comte in a japanese article where it has been translated as The Order of Love. look forward to hearing from you.
