About the Author
Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) was an English philosopher, political theorist, sociological theorist, author, and editor. He served in the later capacity for the "Economist" from 1843 to 1853. He is perhaps best known for applying evolutionary theory to social development and coined the term "survival of the fittest." His best known works are "Man versus the State" and the multi-volume "System of Synthetic Philosophy".

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking volume delves into the complexities of justice, exploring its many facets and implications within society. The author sets the stage by examining the concept of animal ethics, tracing the evolution of justice from its animal origins to its highly developed forms in human societies. The book then provides a thorough analysis of subhuman justice, highlighting the interplay between self-interest and cooperation within animal groups. Moving on to human justice, the author examines its distinct characteristics, the interplay of individual rights, and the tension between self-preservation and the greater good. The work also explores the development of the sentiment of justice, arguing that it is a product of social evolution, and goes on to discuss the intricate relationship between feelings and ideas of justice. The author concludes by encapsulating the profound insights this book offers into the nature of justice, making it an essential read for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of this fundamental concept.
