Editorial Reviews

Review

"Taylor, aiming to describe the whole body of Spencer's thought, nicely explains the so-called law of evolution, and rightly locates it as central to that corpus, not only to biology, but to metaphysics, psychology, and sociology, and not only to these descriptive sciences but also normatively to ethics. He carefully presents the difficulties in Spencer's central ideas, but never with an unfair emphasis that could make Spencer seem simply dogmatic or foolish...Taylor locates Spencer's thought in the story of his life, and shows how the latter was entirely relevant to the former...If you want a good survey of Spencer's thought, nice but not too probing beyond what has become customary, then Taylor's is recommended." - Fred Wilson, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, May 2008
