Description:
Herbert Spencer’s First Principles is a landmark work of 19th-century philosophy, setting out his synthetic philosophy and exploring fundamental concepts of evolution, science, and metaphysics. This A.L. Burt reprint of the Fifth London Edition presents the text unaltered and unabridged, making it a faithful reproduction of Spencer’s original arguments.
An important volume for collectors of Victorian philosophy, students of intellectual history, or readers interested in the development of evolutionary thought and its philosophical implications. While a reprint rather than a true first edition, its age and classic subject matter make it a desirable piece of philosophical history.
