Kant And Spencer

Kant and Spencer: A Critical Exposition is a book written by Borden Parker Bowne in 1912. The book provides a detailed analysis of the philosophical theories of Immanuel Kant and Herbert Spencer, two of the most influential thinkers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Bowne examines the fundamental principles of Kant's critical philosophy, including his concepts of the noumenal and phenomenal worlds, the categorical imperative, and the transcendental idealism. He also explores Spencer's evolutionary philosophy, including his ideas on social evolution, the survival of the fittest, and the organic analogy.Throughout the book, Bowne offers a critical evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of both Kant and Spencer's philosophies. He argues that while Kant's critical philosophy provides a strong foundation for ethical and epistemological inquiry, Spencer's evolutionary theory fails to adequately explain the complexities of social and cultural development.Overall, Kant and Spencer: A Critical Exposition is a comprehensive and insightful analysis of two of the most important philosophical thinkers in modern history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy and the development of critical thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
