- Summary
- This book analyzes Spencer's work, emphasizing his important contribution to social science theory. The author separates Spencer's scientific works from his famous 'survival of the fittest' defense of laissez faire. He writes 'I am not asserting that his sociology was not influenced by his ideology. I am only pointing to the fact that there are far fewer ideological tracks in his work than in Durkheim's, Weber's, and Marx's works...the unknowing rediscovery of Spencer over the last one hundred years represents an enormous waste of our intellectual energies.'
