Book excerpt: The republication of this book is eminently fitting at this time. Jay Rumney's Herbert Spencer's Sociology first appeared in 1937. In that year Talcott Parsons, citing Crane Brinton, declared: "Spencer is dead. But who killed him and how?" It was the thesis of Parsons' famous The Structure of Social Action that the evolution of scientific theory had put an end to Spencer. For more than a generation the man whose name had been synonymous with sociology was, or so it seemed, repressed and forgotten.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes Spencer's work, emphasizing his important contribution to social science theory. The author separates Spencer's scientific works from his famous 'survival of the fittest' defense of laissez faire. He writes 'I am not asserting that his sociology was not influenced by his ideology. I am only pointing to the fact that there are far fewer ideological tracks in his work than in Durkheim's, Weber's, and Marx's works...the unknowing rediscovery of Spencer over the last one hundred years represents an enormous waste of our intellectual energies.'
