L7: Herbert Spencer Evolution Theory (Part 1 - Theory)

Herbert Spencer laid his Evolution Theory in his book Social Statics. Spencer’s entire scheme of knowledge rested upon the belief that ‘evolution’ was the key concept for the understanding of the world as a whole and of human beings place within it. Spencer again here in his evolutionary theory was impressed by Biology and works of Charles Darwin.
Spencer has been influenced deeply by Charles Darwin’s book, The Origin of Species. It had brought a revolutionary change in the understanding of how life evolved on earth from a simple unicellular organism to multicellular complex organisms like, human beings themselves.
Spencer believed that throughout all times there actually has been social evolution from a simple, uniform or homogeneous structure to a complex, multiform or heterogeneous one.
- a condition of simplicity to a condition of organised complexity.
- a condition of indefiniteness to a condition of definiteness.
- a condition in which their parts are relatively undifferentiated to a condition of increasing specialisation, in which their parts are characterised by a complex differentiation of structure and function.
- from an unstable condition consisting of a large multiplicity of very similar units, relatively incoherent and disconnected in their behaviour, to a stable condition consisting or relatively fewer parts. Human beings now are so intricately organised and articulated that their behavior is regular, coherent and predictable.
