Herbert Spencer

    27 aprile 1820 – 8 dicembre 1903

    Herbert Spencer fu un pensatore di spicco dell'epoca vittoriana la cui vasta opera esplorò un concetto onnicomprensivo di evoluzione come sviluppo progressivo nel mondo fisico, negli organismi biologici, nella mente umana e nelle società. Entusiasta sostenitore delle idee evolutive, sviluppò questi concetti in una vasta gamma di discipline, tra cui etica, religione, antropologia, economia, teoria politica, filosofia, letteratura, biologia, sociologia e psicologia. Spencer è particolarmente noto per aver coniato l'espressione "sopravvivenza del più adatto", un concetto che adattò dal lavoro di Darwin ed estese ai regni della sociologia e dell'etica.
