   Extractions: DEC Principia Ethica (1903) that Spencer committed the naturalistic fallacy. According to Moore, Spencer's practical reasoning was deeply flawed insofar as he purportedly conflated mere survivability (a natural property)with goodness itself (a non-natural property). Roughly fifty years later, Richard Hofstadter devoted an entire chapter of Social Darwinism in American Thought Spencer's reputation has never fully recovered from Moore and Hofstadter's interpretative caricatures, thus marginalizing him to the hinterlands of intellectual history, though recent scholarship has begun restoring and repairing his legacy. Happily, in rehabilitating him, some scholars have begun to appreciate just how fundamentally utilitarian his practical reasoning was. Like J. S. Mill, Spencer struggled to make utilitarianism authentically liberal by infusing it with a demanding principle of liberty and robust moral rights. He was convinced, like Mill, that utilitarianism could accommodate rights with independent moral force and yet remain genuinely consequentialist. Subtly construed, utilitarianism can effectively mimick the very best deontological liberalism. 1. Spencer's Liberal Utilitarianism

Herbert Spencer, The Principles of Ethics, Part IV, ch. 6, The Formula of Justice. NOTE: In the real world, whether in nature or in society, every man is not free to do that which he wills even provided he infringes not he equal freedom of any other man. That's just the way things are in the real world. Equal freedom is not an aspect nature or even of society as it is in reality, resembling nature with respect to force and deception differing only in that the animals involved are of the human species, but of society as it ought to be in the opinion Herbert Spencer. The Law of Equal Freedom is not a natural law but a moral law.

   http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/spencer.htm
   
   Extractions: The Victorian biologist and early social philosopher Herbert Spencer was a great rival of Charles Darwin's . His theory of evolution preceded Darwin's own, but was soon overshadowed because of the absence of an effective theory of natural selection - although it was Spencer, and not Darwin, who popularized the term "evolution" itself and coined the now-ubiquitous phrase, "survival of the fittest". Although no longer influential in biology, his extension of his theory of evolution to psychology and sociology remains important. His "Social Darwinism" was particularly influential on early evolutionary economists such as Thorstein Veblen , but, more contemporaneously, it was adopted with gusto by American apologists such as William Graham Sumner and Simon Nelson Patten Spencer's own thinking was derived in part from the socio-philosophical counterpart of English Romanticist thought - perhaps best exemplified in the work of William Godwin , Thomas Malthus , Thomas Lamarck and von Baer. From the Romanticists, Spencer borrowed the concept of the interrelationship between an "evolving" aggregate and its constituent parts. As an aggregate history progresses, greater specialization and hence diversity is "created" by the Lamarckian adaptation of individual physical and behavioral characteristics to environmental circumstances. Thus, although diversity increases, not all diversity survives in that characteristics and habits that were poorly adapted to the circumstances will disappear. In Spencer's view, evolution is actually a progressive movement towards an "equilibrium" where individual beings change their characteristics and habits until they are perfectly adapted to circumstances and no more change is called for. Thus, Spencer's evolutionary mechanism is not only ultimately cumulant (i.e. it ends), but he also draped it in

    Extractions: Herbert Spencer was a British philosopher, born in Derby on April 27, 1820. His father was a school teacher and Herbert was the only child of his parents to live beyond early childhood. His early interests were science, natural history, physics and chemistry. At the age of 16, he completed his formal education and was an Assistant Schoolmaster. Later he became a railroad engineer working for nine years for the London and Birmingham Railway. He gained a reputation as a philosopher, but later scientists proved many of his theories wrong. In 1852, Herbert Spencer wrote an article defending the theory of biological evolution, a full seven years before Charles Darwin published Origin of Species . His view of evolution encompassed all of nature, the biological model being the basis for understanding the social model. It was Spencer who first used such terms as "system," "function," and "structure." He is noted for his attempt to work out a philosophy based on scientific discoveries of his day, which could be applied to all subjects. In Programme of a System of Synthetic Philosophy (1862 – 1896), he applied his fundamental law, the idea of evolution (gradual development) to biology, psychology, sociology, and other fields.

    Extractions: Herbert Spencer Herbet Spencer held on to the optimistic promise that, whatever the imediate hardships for a large portion of mankind, evolution meant progress and thus assured that the whole process of life was tending toward some very remote but altogether glorious consummation. This frame of mind is often reflected in the literature of the period. In American literature, Edward (?)Bellamy is an example of a writer who echoes this optimism in his Utopian novel Looking Backwards.[LINK] "As it seems to me, we have in Herbert spencer not only the profoundest thinker of our time, but the most capacious and most powerful intellecrt of all time. Aristotle and his master were no more beyond the pygmies who preceded them than he is beyond Aristotle. kant, Hegel, Fichte, and Schelling are gropers in the dark by the side of him. In all the history of science, there is but one ame which can be compared to his, and that is Newton's..." F. A. P. Barnard "I am an ultra and thorougoing American. I believe there is great work to be done here for civilization. What we want are ideas large, organizing ideas - and I believe there is no other man whose thoughts are so valuable for our needs as yours are."

    Extractions: Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) British philosopher and sociologist, Herbert Spencer was a major figure in the intellectual life of the Victorian era. He was one of the principal proponents of evolutionary theory in the mid nineteenth century, and his reputation at the time rivaled that of Charles Darwin. Spencer was initially best known for developing and applying evolutionary theory to philosophy, psychology and the study of society what he called his "synthetic philosophy" (see his A System of Synthetic Philosophy , 1862-93). Today, however, he is usually remembered in philosophical circles for his political thought, primarily for his defense of natural rights and for criticisms of utilitarian positivism, and his views have been invoked by 'libertarian' thinkers such as Robert Nozick. Life Spencer was born in Derby, England on 27 April 1820, the eldest of nine children, but the only one to survive infancy. He was the product of an undisciplined, largely informal education. His father, George, was a school teacher, but an unconventional man, and Spencer's family were Methodist 'Dissenters,' with Quaker sympathies. From an early age, Herbert was strongly influenced by the individualism and the anti-establishment and anti-clerical views of his father, and the Benthamite radical views of his uncle Thomas. Indeed, Spencer's early years showed a good deal of resistance to authority and independence.

Huxley, who later said of the period 1851—1858, "...the only person known to me whose knowledge and capacity compelled respect, and who was, at the same time, a through-going evolutionist, was Mr. Herbert Spencer... Many and prolonged were the battles we fought on this topic. But even my friend's rare dialectic skill and copiousness of apt illustration could not drive me from my agnostic position." l 1 FRANCIS DARWIN (Ed.), The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin, 3rd ed.

II, p. 188. three-fold: the traditions on which it drew, the areas in which he applied it, and the tenacity with which he clung to belief in the inheritance of acquired characteristics. I want to point out that the origins, applications and influences of Spencer's evolutionism were not only different from those of Darwin but that they were also more significant for the development of our conception of mind and brain. Spencer's first serious intellectual endeavours were devoted to the study of phrenology, and it was from phrenology that he drew the conception of society as an organism in which interdependent, specialized structures serve diverse functions. Similarly, his concept of the adaptation of the faculties of men to their organic, psychological and social needs was based on a phrenological view of man. These ideas were used as the basis of his attempt to refute Utilitarian social and ethical theory in his first book
