‎A collected set of the second edition and much enlarged third edition of this magnum opus of biology, in which Spencer coined the term ""survival of the fittest"". ""This survival of the fittest, which I have here sought to express in mechanical terms, is that which Mr Darwin has called ""natural selection, or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life"""". (Spencer, Herbert. The Principles of Biology, Vol. I, p. 444).Together with Charles Darwin and Thomas Huxley, Herbert Spencer (1820 - 1903) was responsible for the acceptance of the theory of evolution. His greatest and most influential work in this connection was his ""The Principles of Biology"", which forms the biological part of his grand project for a Synthetic Philosophy, which he worked on from 1862 to 1893. It is on this work that his fame today mainly rests, not least because it was here that he was the first to use the term ""survival of the fittest"" and due to this work that he greatly helped spread the acceptance of the theory of evolution.""The Principles of Biology attempted to reconcile the new Darwinian theory of natural selection with the Lamarckian mechanism of acquired characteristics which Spencer had endorsed long before publication of the Origin of the Species. In Spencer's view, while the Darwinian theory could explain most of biological evolution, the Lamarckian mechanism was necessary to explain 'higher' evolution, and especially the social behavior of humanity. Both theories however, instantiated the principle of evolution. In this sense, therefore, it is incorrect to characterize Spencer as a follower of Darwin. Although he coined the phrase 'survival of the fittest', and is often misrepresented as a thinker who merely applied the Darwininan theory to society, he did not aim to generalize Darwin, but rather to show that natural selection could be accommodated within an overarching principle of evolution that Spencer had independently developed. Biological organisms could be shown to progress, both as individuals and as species, from simple, undifferentiated, homogeneity to complex, differentiated, heterogeneity"" the Darwinian theory was only of significance in providing a partial explanation for this universally observed tendency"" (Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century British Philosophy vol. 2:1055).""Spencer saw higher forms emerging from a gradual process of adaptation to the environment. The Principles of Biology analyzes the principal mechanisms by which this occurs and relates them to the specialized structures and function of plants and animals."" (D.S.B.: XII, 571).The work was originally issued to subscribers in parts from January 1863 to October 1864 (Vol. I) and January 1865 to March 1867 (Vol. II). ‎

‎ 11eme édition, 1902 (la première édition anglaise date de 1861, la française de 1880) Contents, Chapitres : Introduction, vi, Texte, 304 pages et catalogue Alcan - Quel est le savoir le plus utile - De l'éducations intellectuelle - De l'éducation morale - De l'éducation physique - Table et catalogue - Herbert Spencer, né le 27 avril 1820 à Derby et mort le 8 décembre 1903 à Londres, est un philosophe et sociologue anglais. - Connu comme l'un des principaux défenseurs de la théorie de l'évolution au XIXe siècle, sa réputation à l'époque rivalisait avec celle de Charles Darwin, qui n'appréciait ni le personnage, ni ses idées. Spencer a imposé le terme d'« évolution » et est l'auteur de l'expression « sélection des plus aptes », qu'il mettait en rapport avec la sélection naturelle de Darwin. Il a notamment étudié l'extension de cette notion à des domaines comme la philosophie, la psychologie et la sociologie dont il est reconnu comme l'un des fondateurs. Sa théorie fut appelée postérieurement « darwinisme social », ou encore « théorie organiciste ». Comme de nombreux auteurs avant et après lui, Spencer considérait la société comme un organisme vivant, ou une supraorganisation. Cependant, la sociologie va beaucoup plus loin, et fait des lois de la nature comme la sélection naturelle une loi de l'évolution des sociétés. Ses recherches visaient à découvrir les lois d'évolution de la société, en se basant sur celles des espèces. Sa pensée se construit ainsi selon des conceptions évolutionnistes et réductionnistes. Spencer fait de l'histoire des sociétés une histoire linéaire (non dialectique) de la nature. Pour lui, la société passe en plusieurs étapes d'un stade primitif où tout est homogène et simple à un stade élaboré, caractérisé par la spécificité, la différenciation, l'hétérogénéité. - Son ouvrage le plus connu est Le Droit d'ignorer l'État, publié en 1850, formulation classique du droit de se passer des services de l'État, et donc du droit de sécession individuelle, qu'il légitime lorsque la puissance gouvernante abuse de son pouvoir. Spencer était alors un défenseur de l'État minimal, réduit donc au strict maintien de la sécurité intérieure et extérieure, ainsi qu'il l'explique dès The Proper Sphere of Government en 1842. Comme John Locke, il défendait la contractualisation des relations entre individus et État. Pour lui, le gouvernement est un simple employé que chacun est libre de révoquer, sans que cela attente aux droits d'autrui. Il se tourna néanmoins petit à petit vers un libéralisme utilitariste, de facture plus classique. Spencer défend par ailleurs une philosophie de l'Histoire selon laquelle les sociétés industrielles (ouvertes, dynamiques, productives, reposant sur le contrat et la liberté individuelle) supplanteraient progressivement les sociétés de militaires (guerrières, hiérarchiques, holistes, figées, fermées sur elles-mêmes). Finalement, l'État deviendrait lui-même un élément archaïque et obsolète. (source : Wikipedia) quelques rousseurs sur le bord droit du plat supérieur, avec un très léger manque, infime petite déchirure sans manque sur le haut du mors du plat inférieur ainsi qu'aux coiffes, la couverture reste en bon état, l'intérieur est frais et propre, papier à peine jauni, infimes déchirures sans gravité sur le bord de quelques pages, cela reste un bon exemplaire de cet ouvrage très intéressant sur la notion d'éducation à la lumière des théories de l'auteur sur l'évolution et la place de l'Etat.‎

‎Le philosophe et sociologue anglais Herbert SPENCER ( 1820 - 1903 ) fit paraître cet ouvrage dans la Contemporary Review en Angleterre et dans le Popular Science Monthly aux Etas-Unis en 1872 . Le volume édité l' année suivante connut un vif succès et fut de nombreuses fois traduit . " De fait , à coté de la psychologie , Spencer passe aussi à l' époque pour le premier auteur qui a fait entrer définitivement la sociologie dans le concert des sciences empiriques ( ... ) Ainsi , son livre Introduction à la science sociale " qui a si vivement attiré l' attention du monde philosophique " " est devenu très rapidement le plus populaire parmi nous " disait en 1878 le directeur de La Revue scientifique . ( ... ) Un véritable mythe scientifique s' est rapidement construit . Spencer paraissait alors incarner ce que la science pouvait produire de plus précis , de plus logique , de plus systématique et de plus éclairant sur les questions métaphysiques classiques . ( .... ) On peut dire en synthèse que vers 1875- 1885 , Spencer est le philosophe le plus populaire , le plus lu et le plus discuté en France .
