This article delves into the work Social Statics by Herbert Spencer, one of the foundational texts of modern sociology. The book discusses the idea of social progress, the principles of individual freedom, and the role of institutions in maintaining social order. Spencer, influenced by Darwinian evolutionary theory, argues that societies, like organisms, evolve over time through natural selection. The article analyzes the key themes of Spencer’s work, its impact on later sociological thought, and the criticisms it has received.
