Auguste Comte's law of three stages proposed that societies progress from a theological stage (dominated by religion and superstition) to a metaphysical stage (dominated by abstract speculation and philosophy) and finally to a positive stage (dominated by scientific reasoning and experimentation). Therefore, societies are seen as moving forward in their thinking from mythology to scientific method.
