In chapter 1, p. 16, Hayek has the following sentence: As is so often true, the nature of our civilization has been seen more clearly by its enemies than by most of its friends: "the perennial Western malady, the revolt of the individual against the species,"as that nineteenth-century totalitarian, Auguste Comte, has described it, was indeed the force which built our civilization. Does anyone know the origin of the quote from Comte?" Charles Maurras, in _Romantisme et R=E9volution_ (1922), notes that Comte defined the Reformation as "a systematic [act of] sedition of the individual against the species."
