Herbert Spencer was arguably the greatest English philosopher of the 19th century. It was a philosophy of evolution and dissolution in an age dominated by Biology. His work in Psychology and Sociology is also noteworthy, but for the sake of this video we will only secondarily cover these as they pertain to his philosophy.
