Herbert Spencer, The Principles of Sociology, vol. 2 (1898) [1876]

Edition used:

The Principles of Sociology, in Three Volumes (New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1898). Vol. 2.

  • Author: Herbert Spencer

This is vol. 2 of the third revised edition of Herbert Spencer’s magnum opus on sociology which was first published in 1876. In vol. 1 he defines what his theory of sociology is, how human beings associate with each other in communities, how institution evolve over time, and begins his analysis of institutions with a section on the family, marriage, women and children. In vol. 2 he covers “ceremonial” institutions and political institutions (with his famous distinction between militant and industrial types of society). In vol. 3 he discusses ecclesiastical institutions, professional institutions, and “industrial” (or economic) institutions.
