Kritika etiki Spensera (Criticism of Spenser's Ethics)

S.-Peterburg (St. Petersburg): M. V. Pirozhkova, 1905. First Edition. Very good. First edition; 9 x 6; [4], 1-116; rebound in dark-blue cloth over boards; light wear to tips of spine and a light, rubbed spot to front board; a bit of webbing showing at gutter between pp. 2 and 3, although textblock solid and securely-attached; uniform age-toning, very god condition.A well-thought and thorough criticism, the book refutes Herbert Spenser's theories and ideas and, more specifically, his ethics views. Spenser (1820 - 1903), British sociologist, biologist, and theorist, would be best remebered for coining the phrase "survival of the fittest," but also, for theorizing that the height of the process of evolution would be the "creation of the perfect man in the perfect society."
