The element of presence, the element of influence, the element of supersedure : through the implementation of fundamental procedures of the positive spirit (observation, experimentation and prevision), the doctrine of the positivist text (his letter) is superseded by the positive spirit itself. Thereafter, the novel becomes a form of “roman-laboratoire”.
