Today the name most closely associated with evolutionary theory is
Charles Darwin. Given Darwin's immense reputation it is easy to
forget that Herbert Spencer, in his time, was just as famous as
Darwin. It turns out that Spencer's evolutionary thought was not
what necessarily appealed to many of his readers, since they had
their own sense of his identity and importance. By focusing on
Spencer the evolutionist, scholars have tended to concentrate their
attention on a rather narrow view of him that has come out of
Anglo-American appropriations of his thought. Spencer was one of
the first international, public intellectuals whose views on
psychology, religion, sociology, ethics, education, and biology
captured the imagination of readers all over the world. The
chapters will cover the communication and appropriation of
Spencer's ideas in Russia, the Middle East, China, Japan, Mexico,
Argentina, Brazil, the United States, Italy, Scandinavia, and
France. Contributors are: Li Bin, Juan Manuel Rodriguez Caso, Gowan
Dawson, Heloisa Maria Bertol Domingues, Marwa Elshakry, Mark
Francis, G. Clinton Godart, Michael Gordon, Paola Govoni, Rosaura
Ruiz Gutierrez, Hans Henrik Hjermitslev, Ricardo Noguera-Solano,
Adriana Novoa, Greg Radick, Nathalie Richard, Ke Zunke.
