This is volume 18 in the "Major Conservative and Libertarian
Thinkers" series. Herbert Spencer (1820-1904) was one of the
foremost philosophers of the Victorian age. For the most of his
life, he was engaged in building a 'synthetic philosophy' that
ranged from biology to aesthetics to politics. Spencer was a
defender of the doctrine of classical liberalism, akin to
contemporary libertarianism, which he elaborated to a higher degree
of synthesis and internal consistency. Though a friend and admirer
of John Stuart Mill, he was far from an adherent to some of the
principles that Mill held dear. In particular, in the dawn of
democracy Spencer found not just the dangerous illusions of the
masses overcoming the rights of the individual, but a new 'divine
right of parliaments', an equal enemy to individual freedom as the
divine right of kings. "Major Conservative and Libertarian
Thinkers" provides comprehensive accounts of the works of seminal
conservative thinkers from a variety of periods, disciplines, and
traditions - the first series of its kind. Even the selection of
thinkers adds another aspect to conservative thinking, including
not only theorists but also writers and practitioners. The series
comprises twenty volumes, each including an intellectual biography,
historical context, critical exposition of the thinker's work,
reception and influence, contemporary relevance, bibliography
including references to electronic resources, and an index.
