Herbert Spencer was an English philosopher and theorist. He was born and raised in Derby, privately educated by his uncle, a schoolmaster in Bath, and worked a variety of jobs, including civil engineer and editor. He began publishing essays, and later books, on various subjects, gradually acquiring the reputation as one of the greatest thinkers of his generation. His influential and wide-ranging works include contributions in ethics, metaphysics, grammar, political theory, biology, and psychology. He anticipated much of Darwin's Theory of Evolution, coining the phrase "Survival of the fittest," and applied the theory to societies to help pioneer the science of sociology. He was also critical of religion, preferring science, and was considered one of the leading theorists of capitalism.
Philosopher.
Herbert Spencer was born in Derby in 1820. He was educated at Hinton Charterhouse near Bath and returned to Derby at the age of 17 to take up a post as an assistant schoolmaster. After three months, he became a civil engineer with the London and Birmingham Railway. In 1842, he was appointed honorary secretary of the Complete Suffrage Movement - allied to the Chartist agitation - and became editor of The Pilot , the newspaper of the Chartist movement. He became sub-editor of The Economist in 1848 and in 1850 published his first book, Social Statistics , detailing theories of evolution. In 1855, he published his second book, The Principles of Psychology . From 1860 to 1893, Spencer worked on a series of volumes with the intention of applying evolution to all the sciences and developing an all-inclusive philosophical theory. His volumes covered biology, psychology, sociology, and ethics. He died in 1903.
