Herbert Spencer and Inevitable Progress
Spencer is so grandiose that it is hard to summarize his ideas, yet he was one of the most
influential thinkers in nineteenth-century Britain, and his ideas were an inspiration around the
world. His version of evolution was utterly generalised in all the ways Darwin tried to be
circumspect. The organic analogies which Spencer developed are the foundation-stones for the
widespread idea of functionalism across the biomedical and human sciences, extending to
architecture, systems theory, cybernetics and information theory. The essay was reprinted in a
