The history of the Positivist Calendar somewhat dates back to the time when August Comte, published a 13 month calendar in 1849, and eventually named it as the Positivist Calendar. The positivist calendar is a lot more contemporary then the other archaic calendars and is consisted of 13 months of 28 days each. There was an extra day at the end of the year and the calendar had no weekday assigned to it. August Comte proposed the name of the13 months as Moses, Homer Aristotle, Archimedes, Caesar, St. Paul, Charlemagne, Dante, Gutenberg, Shakespeare, Descartes, Frederick II and Bichat. Individual days were typically devoted to the noteworthy personnel in fields related to the months. For example Moses 14 was devoted to Buddha, Aristotle 21 to Socrates, Gutenberg 7 to Columbus, Shakespeare 28 to Mozart, Descartes 28 to Hume, Bichat 7 to Galileo and so on.
