Modern History Sourcebook: Spencer: Social Darwinism, 1857
herbert spencer (18201903) was thinking about ideas of evolution and progress before Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species (1859).
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/spencer-darwin.html

Extractions: Social Darwinism, 1857 The Origin of Species (1859). Nonetheless, his ideas received a major boost from Darwin's theories and the general application of ideas such as "adaptation" and "survival of the fittest" to social thought is known as "Social Darwinism". It would be possible to argue that human evolution showed the benefits of cooperation and community. Spencer, and Social Darwinists after him took another view. He believed that society was evolving toward increasing freedom for individuals ; and so held that government intervention, ought to be minimal in social and political life. Here Spencer specifically discusses race and class. because they tend to heighten human happiness. But rightly to understand Progress, we must inquire what is the nature of these changes, considered apart from our interests. Ceasing, for example, to regard the successive geological modifications that have taken place in the Earth, as modifications that have gradually fitted it for the habitation of Man, and as therefore a geological progress, we must seek to determine the character common to these modifications-the law to which they all conform. And similarly in every other case. Leaving out of sight concomitants and beneficial consequences, let us ask what Progress is in itself. Now, we propose in the first place to show, that this law of organic progress is the law of all progress. Whether it be in the development of the Earth, in the development of Life upon its surface, the development of Society, of Government, of Manufactures, of Commerce, of Language, Literature, Science, Art, this same evolution of the simple into the complex, through a process of continuous differentiation, holds throughout. From the earliest traceable cosmical changes down to the latest results of civilization, we shall find that the transformation of the homogeneous into the heterogeneous, is that in which Progress essentially consists....

Born in Derby, England, Spencer was mainly self-educated. His early influences included the utilitarian philosophy of Jeremy Bentham and an early theory of evolution developed by the French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck See also Thematic Essay: British Political and Social Thought In 1850 Spencer published Social Statics, a work in which he stressed the importance of individual freedom and the inevitability of human progress. In Principles of Psychology (1855) Spencer wrote that all organic matter originates in a unified state and that individual characteristics gradually develop through evolution. The evolutionary progression from simple to more complex and diverse states was an important theme in most of Spencer's later works. In

About 15 pages from the first chapter, concentrating more on his criticism of Comte, rather than his own views. positive philosophy and what the English scientists, especially since Newton, mean by natural philosophy ;" (see Avertissement ) and further on he indicates the "great movement impressed on the human mind, two centuries ago, by the combined action of the precepts of Bacon, the conceptions of Descartes, and the discoveries of Galileo, as the moment when the spirit of positive philosophy began to be expressed in the world." That is to say, the general mode of thought and way of interpreting phenomena, which M. Comte calls "Positive Philosophy," he recognises as having been growing for two centuries; as having reached, when he wrote, a marked development; and as being the heritage of all men of science. minus his re-organisation, are certainly not his disciples. How then stands the case with M. Comte? There are some few who receive his doctrines with but little reservation; and these are his disciples truly so called. There are others who regard with approval certain of his leading doctrines, but not the rest: these we may distinguish as partial adherents. There are others who reject all his distinctive doctrines; and these must be classed as his antagonists. The members of this class stand substantially in the same position as they would have done had he not written. Declining his re-organisation of scientific doctrine, they possess this scientific doctrine in its pre-existing state, as the common heritage .bequeathed by the past to the present; and their adhesion to this scientific doctrine in no sense implicates them with M. Comte. In this class stand the great body of men of science. And in this class I stand myself.

http://praxeology.net/HS-FC-20.htm

Extractions: Patriotism from Facts and Comments by Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) Were anyone to call me dishonest or untruthful he would touch me to the quick. Were he to say that I am unpatriotic, he would leave me unmoved. What, then, have you no love of country? That is a question not to be answered in a breath. Nor does the national character shown by a popular ovation to a leader of filibusters, or by the according of a University honour to an arch-conspirator, or by the uproarious applause with which undergraduates greeted one who sneered at the unctuous rectitude of those who opposed his plans of aggression, appear to me lovable. If because my love of country does not survive these and many other adverse experiences I am called unpatriotic well, I am content to be so called. Some years ago I gave my expression to my own feeling anti-patriotic feeling, it will doubtless be called in a somewhat startling way. It was at the time of the second Afghan war, when, in pursuance of what were thought to be our interests, we were invading Afghanistan. News had come that some of our troops were in danger. At the Athenæum Club a well-known military man then a captain but now a general drew my attention to a telegram containing this news, and read it to me in a manner implying the belief that I should share his anxiety. I astounded him by replying When men hire themselves out to shoot other men to order, asking nothing about the justice of their cause, I dont care if they are shot themselves.

Extractions: by Roderick T. Long Atheism, Ayn Rand, and Other Heresies , Ch. 13.) The latest dishonor to Spencer's memory turns up in War Against the Weak: Eugenics and Americas Campaign to Create a Master Race , a new book by Edwin Black (best known as the author of IBM and the Holocaust ). Black's subject is the American eugenics movement, which in the heyday of its influence was responsible for the forcible sterilization of thousands of Americans, and which also contributed, ideologically and sometimes financially, to the rise of Nazism in Germany. It's an ugly and important story that needs to be told. But what should rouse the ire of any intellectual historian is Black's outrageous attempt to treat the campaign for compulsory sterilization as a natural outgrowth of Herbert Spencer's philosophy. Spencer, of course, was a radical liberal, steadfastly opposed to all coercive state control over the individual; associating Spencer with compulsory sterilization, or indeed compulsory anything , is ludicrous. As Spencer wrote in his 1851 classic

Extractions: Andrew Carnegie, already a titan of the business world, was sitting with friends on the moors of Scotland when the group took up the question of which author they would take with them if stranded on a deserted island. One said Shakespeare, another chose Dante. Carnegie didn't hesitate. "Herbert Spencer," he said. Of all the writers that Carnegie read and studied throughout his life, he said that the English philosopher Herbert Spencer was the one who influenced him most. Spencer's writings provided the philosophical justification for Carnegie's unabashed pursuit of personal riches in the world of business, freeing him from the moral reservations about financial acquisition that he had inherited from his egalitarian Scottish relatives.

http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/econ/ugcm/3ll3/spencer/firprin.html

Extractions: Part I The Unknowable Chapter 1 Religion and Science §2. Early traditions represent rulers as gods or demigods. By their subjects, primitive kings were regarded as superhuman in origin and superhuman in power. They possessed divine titles, received obeisances like those made before the altars of deities, and were in some cases actually worshipped. Of course along with the implied beliefs there existed a belief in the unlimited power of the ruler over his subjects, extending even to the taking of their lives at will; as until recently in Fiji, where a victim stood unbound to be killed at the word of his chief himself declaring, "whatever the king says must be done." In other times and among other races, we find these beliefs a little modified. The monarch, instead of being thought god or demigod, is conceived to be a man having divine authority, with perhaps more or less of divine nature. He retains, however, titles expressing his heavenly descent or relationships, and is still saluted in forms and words as humble as those addressed to the Deity. While in some places the lives and properties of his people, if not so completely at his mercy, are still in theory supposed to be his. Later in the progress of civilization, as during the middle ages in Europe, the current opinions respecting the relationship of rulers and ruled are further changed. For the theory of divine origin there is substituted that of divine right. No longer god or demigod, or even god-descended, the king is now regarded simply as God's vicegerent. The obeisances made to him are not so extreme in their humility; and his sacred titles lose much of their meaning. Moreover his authority ceases to be unlimited. Subjects deny his right to dispose at will of their lives and properties, and yield allegiance only in the shape of obedience to his commands.

Biography: Spencer, Herbert
Glossary of Religion and Philosophy Short Biography of herbert spencer.
http://atheism.about.com/library/glossary/evolution/bldef_spencerherbert.htm

Extractions: Herbert Spencer's philosophy cannot be described as inspired and original; however, in systematizing the ideas of his era he became very influential because his works were widely read for many, many years. Spencer is a bit better known today for having developed principles of evolutionary biology before Darwin - indeed, the popular phrase "survival of the fittest," now so associated with Darwinian evolution, is actually a creation of Spencer. Is evolution a science? Is creationism a science? What is science? Is there evidence for either? Religious fundamentalists often attack evolution, but rarely from a positions of really understanding what evolution is and how it works. This FAQ will not only teach you more about the nature of evolution and evolutionary theory, but it will also explain some of the more common complaints and where they go wrong.
Herbert Spencer Gasser, July 5, 1888May 11, 1963 | By Merrill W. Chase And Car

http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/biomems/hgasser.html

Extractions: HERBERT GASSER WAS A major scientific figure. An outstanding physiologist, he was a pioneer in the field of neurophysiology. In addition, as Director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research from 1935 until 1953, he exercised an important national and international influence on science. This long-overdue memoir has been written almost thirty years after his death. We both knew him at the Rockefeller Institute and have had access to extensive archival material. Though our information about his early years is limited, Gasser's autobiography (1964), written characteristically with great reserve and in the third person, contains much of interest. ORIGINS AND EARLY YEARS IN WISCONSIN Herbert Gasser was born in 1888 in Platteville, a small town in southwestern Wisconsin. His father, Herman, was an immigrant from the Tyrol, who, after working as a pharmacist, studied medicine and became a practicing physician. His mother, Jane Elizabeth Griswold Gasser, came from a family of early Connecticut settlers. The given names of their first child, Herbert Spencer, stemmed from his father's perusal of books by Wallace, Darwin, and Spencer after local newspapers attacked the concept of evolution. There were two younger siblings, a sister and a brother. Gasser recalled his youth in Platteville: ". . .excursions into the countryside, fishing in the summer and skating in winter. There were few distractions, no cinema or radio, and travel was by horse and buggy. Children had to find their own amusement." Reading was of great importance to him. He also built furniture, taking pleasure in benchwork. Fine craftsmanship remained a lifelong interest. Young Gasser had a simple box Kodak camera that he supplemented with much "improvised equipment." As he remembered: "This experience later turned out to be a good training for a physiologist."
