Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) war ein englischer Philosophen, bekannt für seine wissenschaftlichen Schriften. Gemeinsam mit Charles Darwin und Thomas Huxley war er für die Akzeptanz der Evolutiontheorie verantwortlich. Sein bekannter Essay on Education: Intellectual, Moral und Physical gilt als eines der nützlichsten und tiefgründigsten Bücher im Bereich der Bildung. Er projizierte eine riesige Arbeit aus 10 Bänden, Synthetische Philosophie, bei der alle Phänomene nach dem Prinzip des evolutionären Fortschritts interpretiert werden. Gemeinsam mit Charles Darwin und Thomas Huxley war er für die Akzeptanz der Evolutiontheorie verantwortlich. In First Principles (ursprünglich veröffentlicht 1862), dem ersten der projizierten Bände, hat Spencer Phänomene von dem, was er das Unnowable nannte - eine unververständliche Kraft oder Kraft, aus der alles abstammt. Er beschränkte das Wissen auf Phänomene, d.h. die Manifestationen des Unwissenswerten ein. Er behauptete, dass diese Manifestationen von ihrer Quelle gemäß einem Prozess der Entwicklung fortlaufen.

English polymath Herbert Spencer worked as a sociologist, anthropological, biologist, psychologist, and philosopher. The phrase "survival of the fittest" was first used by Spencer in Principles of Biology (1864), following his reading of Charles Darwin's 1859 book On the Origin of Species. Although the name primarily denotes natural selection, Spencer also embraced Lamarckism since he believed that evolution extends into the fields of sociology and ethics. Spencer created a comprehensive theory of evolution that included the progressive development of biological systems, the physical environment, human thought, culture, and society. He made contributions to many different fields as a polymath, such as politics, economics, anthropology, ethics, literature, astronomy, biology, sociology, and psychology. He attained great power throughout his lifetime, mostly in academic English-speaking circles. Although Spencer was "the single most famous European intellectual in the closing decades of the nineteenth century," his impact began to wane after 1900. Talcott Parsons questioned, "Who now reads Spencer?" in 1937. Spencer, the son of William George Spencer (often referred to as George), was born in Derby, England, on April 27, 1820.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) was an English philosopher; prominent classical liberal political theorist; and sociological theorist of the Victorian era. Spencer developed an all-embracing conception of evolution as the progressive development of the physical world, biological organisms, the human mind, and human culture and societies. He is best known for coining the phrase, survival of the fittest, which he did in Principles of Biology (1864). He worked as a civil engineer during the railway boom of the late 1830s, while also devoting much of his time to writing for provincial journals that were nonconformist in their religion and radical in their politics. From 1848 to 1853 he served as sub-editor on the free-trade journal The Economist during which time he published his first book, Social Statics (1851). Spencer's second book the Principles of Psychology, published in 1855 explored a physiological basis for psychology. Despite Spencer's early struggles to establish himself as a writer, by the 1870s he had become the most famous philosopher of the age. Amongst his other works are: First Principles of a New System of Philosophy (1862), The Data of Ethics (1879) and Essays on Education and Kindred Subjects (1911). Artikel-Nr. 00069476782
