Herbert Spencer's first mature statement of his individualist liberalism. A classic of libertarian political thought, it is still worth reading today. Between the green boards of this edition one can find some provocative (and later chucked) chapters such as "The Divine Idea," "The Right to the Use of the Earth," and that classic of near-anarchism, "The Right to Ignore the State." geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) was regarded by the Victorians as the foremost philosopher of the age, the prophet of evolution at a time when the idea had gripped the popular imagination. Until recently Spencer's posthumous reputation rested almost excusively on his social and political thought, which has itself frequently been subject to serious misrepresentation. But historians of ideas now recognise that an acquaintance with Spencer's thought is essential for the proper understanding of many aspects of Victorian intellectual life, and the present selection is designed to answer this need. It provides a cross-section of Spencer's works from his more popular and approachable essays to a number of the volumes of the Synthetic Philosophy itself. Volume III: Social Statics, Or the Conditions Essential to Human Happiness specified and then the fifst of them Developed. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I am one of the few libertarians who think Spencer was right later to abridge the present work, getting rid of the Deism, the land socialism, and the near-anarchism . . . and even elements of his early feminism. ( )
