The positivist calendar was a calendar reform proposal by Auguste Comte in 1849. After revising the earlier work of Marco Mastrofini, Comte’s proposed calendar was a solar calendar which had 13 months of 28 days, and an additional festival day commemorating the dead, totalling 365 days. This extra day added to the last month was outside of the days of the week cycle, and so the first of a month was always a Monday. In leap years, an additional festival day (also outside the week cycle), to celebrate holy women, would join the memorial day of the dead.

abstract	The positivist calendar was a calendar reform proposal by Auguste Comte in 1849. After revising the earlier work of Marco Mastrofini, Comte’s proposed calendar was a solar calendar which had 13 months of 28 days, and an additional festival day commemorating the dead, totalling 365 days. This extra day added to the last month was outside of the days of the week cycle, and so the first of a month was always a Monday. In leap years, an additional festival day (also outside the week cycle), to celebrate holy women, would join the memorial day of the dead. The scheme followed the Gregorian calendar rules for determining which years are leap years, and started on January 1. Year 1 “of the Great Crisis” according to this calendar would be equivalent to the year 1789 in the Gregorian system. Much like Comte’s other plans, the Positivist Calendar never enjoyed widespread use.
