Description
Herbert Spencer, by J Arthur Thomson, stands in the English Men of Science line shaped by J Reynolds Green. Dent printed it in London in 1906, with Dutton in New York. Thomson was a professor of natural history at the University of Aberdeen.
Early chapters treat Spencer birth, nurture, and years of practical work. Later parts trace how he thought out his Synthetic Philosophy, his grand plan to join all knowledge under evolution. Thomson sorts Spencer gifts of body and mind, then his heart and morals. Long parts weigh Spencer as a biologist and as champion of the evolution idea. The close runs through mind, society, and the population question. Readers get a clear life of a huge, shy thinker.
