Preferred term

Herbert Spencer  

Definition(s)

  • Herbert Spencer was an English philosopher, evolutionist, and political theorist, whose theories treated the universe and time in general with scientific minuteness and a synthesis of speculation and positivism. He is often cited with coining the popular expression “survival of the fittest,” which later would be used frequently by social Darwinists. [Source: Encyclopedia of Time: Science, Philosophy, Theology, & Culture; Spencer, Herbert]
