Herbert Spencer Libri
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.






Spencer develops various specific disastrous ramifications of the wholesale substitution of the principle of compulsory cooperation—the statist principle—for the individualist principle of voluntary cooperation. His theme is that “there is in society . . . that beautiful self-adjusting principle which will keep all its elements in equilibrium. . . . The attempt to regulate all the actions of a community by legislation will entail little else but misery and compulsion.” Herbert Spencer joined the staff of the London and Birmingham Railway as an engineer in 1837 and in 1848 took a position as editor of The Economist.

Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) - angielski filozof i socjolog, wręcz uznawany za jednego z ojców socjologii, zdeklarowany ewolucjonista i agnostyk, autor kilkunastu książek. swoje naukowe poglądy na świat przedstawił przede wszystkim na łamach obszernego, wielotomowego (obejmującego Pierwsze zasady, Zasady biologii, psychologii, socjologii i etyki) dzieła A System of Synthetic Philosophy. Instytucje polityczne to tylko część z Zasad socjologii. Jak pisze Leszek Kasprzyk w biografii Spencer traktował społeczeństwo jako część przyrody i interpretował jego rozwój z punktu widzenia działania w nim praw i zależności typu przyrodniczego. Tak rozumianą zasadę determinizmu przeciwstawiał Spencer zdecydowanie wszelkim indeterministycznym teoriom rozwoju społecznego. W tym duchu napisany jest także ten tom, który obejmuje takie tematy i zagadnienia jak organizacja polityczna integracja i rozwarstwienie w politycznym kształcie społeczeństw, problematyką form i sił politycznych, rodzajów przywództwa i zwierzchnictwa politycznego, ciał przedstawicielskich i doradczych, także prawem, władzą sądowniczą i wykonawczą. Wreszcie sprawami własności oraz typami społeczeństw.
