First Principles of a New System of Philosophy

Focusing on a new philosophical system, Herbert Spencer's work explores the principles of evolution and natural selection as foundational to understanding human life, morality, and social structures. He posits that all aspects of existence are interconnected and continually evolving, urging a scientific approach to knowledge. The book is divided into two parts: the first outlines core philosophical principles, while the second applies these ideas to psychology, ethics, and politics. This influential text is essential for those interested in the evolution of philosophy and social science.
