Positivist calendar
The
positivist calendar was a lunisolar
calendar proposed by August Comte in
1849. The calendar had 13 months of 28 days, and a additional festival day commemorating the dead, and a leapday to celebrate holy women. It follows the
Gregorian Calendar's rules for
leap years, and starts on
January 1. The extra days added to the last month are outside of the days of the week cycle, and so the first of a month is always a
Monday. Year 1 in this calendar is equivilant to year
1789 in the Gregorian.
Months were named for:
- Moses
- Homer
- Aristotle
- Archimedes
- Caesar
- Saint Paul
- Charlemagne
- Dante
- Gutenberg
- Shakespeare
- Descartes
- Frederick the Great
