Book Description
This early work by William David Ground was originally published in 1883 and we are now republishing it. 'Anglo-American Philosophies of Penal Law. III. The Ethics of Punishment' is a book that examines the validity of the reasoning of Herbert Spencer's philosophy on will, conscience, mind and matter, and other propositions. Herbert Spencer was born on 27th April 1820, in Derby, England. In 1851 he published 'Social Statics' to great acclaim and his quietly influential 'Principles of Psychology' in 1955. These were followed by numerous works of sociology, psychology, and philosophy, which led him to become a prominent intellectual of his day. He also wrote 'The Developmental Hypothesis' (1852) which described the theory of evolution seven years before Charles Darwin's 'Origin of Species'. He even popularised the term "Evolution" and coined the phrase "Survival of the fittest," but his works did not contain the comprehensive theoretical system that Darwin's did, which is why his theory was not taken seriously at the time. Spencer's most famous idea was that of "Social Darwinism." He saw the process of organic evolution as being analogous to that of society, an idea influenced many intellectuals of the day.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Examination of the Structural Principles of Mr. Herbert Spencer's Philosophy The endeavour has been made to strip the argu ment, as far as possible, of all technical terms, -to remember that the highest merit of style is sim plicity, - and to write the whole work in such a fashion that to understand it in every part, and decide as to the validity of the reasoning, Shall demand of no one nothing more than enlarged common sense. If a few philosophical terms have been necessarily employed they will, I think, be found to be hardly more than elementary con ceptions, and such as can be mastered without much difficulty by any one of good intelligence.

Book Description
Herbert Spencer remains a significant but poorly understood figure in 19th century intellectual life.
