Herbert Spencer was a renowned English philosopher and sociologist who is often referred to as the "Father of Social Darwinism." His ideas on evolution, individualism, and survival of the fittest greatly influenced 19th-century thought. Spencer believed that society should operate like a biological organism, with individuals competing for resources in order to progress and evolve. Despite his controversial views, he made significant contributions to fields such as sociology, psychology, and ethics. Spencer's work continues to be studied and debated by scholars around the world, shaping our understanding of human behavior and societal development. His legacy lives on as a complex figure whose ideas continue to challenge conventional thinking.
