Herbert Spencer: The Man and his Work

William Henry Hudson, professor of English Literature in the Leland Stanford Junior University, published his essay Herbert Spencer: The Man and his Work in February 1897 on the Popular Science Monthly magazine. We propose it again today to our readers, with the hope that it can contribute to making known and spreading the thoughts of Herbert Spencer, one of the greatest philosophers of the 19th century, but also an excellent psychologist, biologist, sociologist, and anthropologist.
