Herbert Spencer

    April 27, 1820 – December 8, 1903

    Herbert Spencer was a prominent Victorian-era thinker whose expansive work explored an all-embracing concept of evolution as the progressive development across the physical world, biological organisms, the human mind, and societies. An enthusiastic exponent of evolutionary ideas, he developed these concepts across a wide range of disciplines, including ethics, religion, anthropology, economics, political theory, philosophy, literature, biology, sociology, and psychology. Spencer is most notably recognized for coining the phrase "survival of the fittest," a concept he adapted from Darwin's work and extended into the realms of sociology and ethics.

    • 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.
