Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The author writes all the way without looking back or looking at it!  I wrote until I forgot all about it, haha!  It is impossible to forget everything, so I have to do whatever I want and go with the flow. I feel like I am vomiting when I write it. You don¡¯t need to read the recent ones (of course you don¡¯t need to read the author¡¯s books), they are just introducing the characters in the camp.  Review some characters yourself.

    "One of the Demonic Rebels: The Floating Pot Space©¤Spencer"

    Herbert Spencer (1820©¤1903), British philosopher.  He is well-known as the father of Social Darism, who proposed a set of theories that applied the evolutionary theory of survival of the fittest to sociology, especially education and class struggle.

    However, his work has contributed to a wide range of subjects, including norms, metaphysics, religion, politics, rhetoric, biology, and psychology.

    There were many famous philosophers and scientists in Spencer's era, such as John, Stuart, Mill, Thomas, Henry, Huxley, Charles, and Dahl are all well-known contemporary figures.

    Herbert Spencer was born in Derby, England, the son of the respected educator Georgia Spencer.  Coming from an educational family (his grandfather and uncle were both educators), he was encouraged to study at a young age.

    From an early age, he was frequently exposed to and interested in academic classes and his father's journals.

    At the age of 13, he was sent by his father to Hinton Chatterhouse, a small town near Bath.  There his uncle was able to provide him with a formal education.  Initially he felt bored and resisted Latin and Greek classes, so he did not follow his uncle and even ran home.

    Later, he learned from his uncle and developed his early political and economic ideas to respond to his uncle's radical reform views.

    In 1836, his uncle found him a job as a civil engineer on the railway.  Spencer's experience at work caused him to stop pursuing pursuits in the industry. Instead, he felt that his boss was overworking the workers.

    He also noticed that at this moment he began to make up his mind to write chapters.  In the years after he turned 22, he continued to visit his uncle and sent relevant political letters to some radical newspapers.  For example, "Non-Normal People".  This was his official start to participate in media and social and political editing.  These contributions were compiled into his book, The Proper Limits of Government.

    These early writings illustrate liberal views on workers' rights and government responsibilities.  Within Spencer's circle, he had long encouraged more rationality in the laws of nature.

    In 1851, these views became increasingly mature in his book Social Statics.  The content emphasizes the importance of individual power to society, but society undoubtedly tramples on it.

    But what was missing was the compassion for the working class and the great design of God that were popular in his early writings.  This is where Spencer begins to establish his perspective on Ming, not as man's artificial construction, but as a natural organic product of man in nature.

    He served as deputy editor of the London financial media "The Economist" for five years until 1853 when he resigned and began to devote himself to professional writing.  In the following years, his writings covered education, science, the railroad industry, the population explosion, and many philosophical and sociological topics.

    In 1855, Spencer's "Principles of Psychology" was published.  It demonstrates that the theory of mind is a biologically complementary part of the body.  Rather than the far opposite part.

    In this model, human intelligence is slowly established relative to the surrounding environment.  This stance on the evolution of human origins alienated conservative publishers and caused Spencer's work to be set aside.

    While writing "Principles of Psychology," Spencer traveled to Wales and France, during which time his health deteriorated to the point where he could not recover.  It may be that long-term fatigue leads to frequent short sleep.  hindering his long work.  While he blamed stress and poor lung function, years of declining health left him dependent on morphine and opium.

    Despite increasing fatigue, Spencer continued writing.  In 1858, he began a large project covering the entire evolution of his philosophy and legal progress.

    He hoped to slowly increase his publication volume in order to maintain his long-term livelihood, but he could no longer solidify any publisher relationships by publishing regularly.  Fortunately, Spencer was favored by Britain's intelligentsia at this time and received private orders for his theoretical works.  That helped fund his living and work expenses.

    Among the many intellectuals was the respected British philosopher Thomas Henry Huxley, who introduced Spencer to Club X, "a supper club for respected thinkers, some of whom  Later he became president of the Royal Society."

    Members include: philosopher John Doyle, banker and archaeologist Sir John Rubke, Charles Dahl, etc.  through this organization.  Spencer's ability to emerge at the center of a circle of scientists ensured that his comments found a powerful audience.

    In 1862, Spencer appeared??The First Principle.  It is a demonstration of the evolving theory of root principles in all areas of reality.  It was the underlying belief of his early theory.

    According to his definition, evolution is a continuous process.  Things continue to improve into complex and coherent forms.  This is the mainstay of Spencer's philosophy - a definition of evolution that has developed a coherent framework.

    At this moment, he gained international fame and high respect.  His view of humanity as grounded in nature was very influential and widely recognized.

    One point in particular should be pointed out.  While he was interested in various sciences, he was never willing to focus on one area of ??research and rarely participated in scientific experiments or investigations.

    Possibly because he has a wealth of knowledge and rarely specializes in one subject.  This makes his ideas and writings easy to understand and popular.  He is known as the thorough Spencer in the X Club because of the depth of his research on the subject.  But he often moved projects around, making his influence far-reaching.

    At the age of 60, Spencer was in very poor health.  In 1882, he broke his habit of not attending church to attend the funeral of Charles Dahl.  In 1902, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize.  He devoted his life to writing.  He died at the age of 83.

    His writings throughout his life attracted many readers.  In 1869, he could even rely on the income from his books to make a living.  His works have been translated into many languages, such as German, Italian, Spanish, French, Russian, Japanese, and Chinese, and have won many honors in Europe and North America.

    His philosophy proved useful to political conservatives, not only in its application of social class structures but also in its concept of social justice, which emphasized individual responsibility for sex and behavior.

    Spencer supports the law of equal liberty, which is the basic principle of libertarianism.  Each individual can do things according to his own choice without infringing on the rights of others.

    Many U.S. high court judges make decisions based on this principle when faced with restrictions on government labor practices.  But it¡¯s not just conservatives who have used Spencer¡¯s theories to promote their own views.

    Many sociologists have used his theory to explain class war.  Anarchists apply it to the belief in individual autonomy.

    Spencer also had a great influence on scholarship and rhetoric.  His "Philosophy of Style" (1852) initiated the trend of formalism in writing.

    He pays close attention to the proper arrangement of the various parts of an English sentence and establishes guidelines for effective writing.  Spencer's goal is to free the flow of resistance and inertia.

    Readers are not slowed down by struggling to study context and the precise meaning of sentences.  In this way, writers can achieve maximum communication efficiency.  This became the most authoritative support for formalists in rhetoric.
