Social Evolution (1895) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164102212)

Social Evolution is a book written by Benjamin Kidd in 1895 that explores the concept of social evolution and its impact on society. Kidd argues that social evolution is driven by the development of the human mind and its ability to reason and understand the world around us. He also contends that the evolution of society is influenced by factors such as religion, morality, and economics.The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the nature of social evolution and its relationship to other scientific theories. Kidd argues that social evolution is distinct from biological evolution and that it is driven by the development of the human mind.The second part of the book explores the role of religion in social evolution. Kidd argues that religion has played a significant role in the development of human society and that it has been a driving force behind many of the moral and ethical principles that have shaped our culture.The final part of the book examines the impact of economics on social evolution. Kidd argues that economic systems are a crucial factor in shaping society and that they have a significant impact on the distribution of wealth and power.Overall, Social Evolution is a thought-provoking book that offers a unique perspective on the development of human society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of social thought and the evolution of human culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
