  • 内容简介
  • 斯宾塞对文学及修辞学有很大影响力。他的《式样哲学》(1852年)开创了写作上形式主义的潮流。他高度关注英语句子的各个部分的正当排列,给予有效写作的指引。斯宾塞的目标是把散文从“阻力与惯性”释放出来,读者不因吃力研讨上文下文及句子的精确意义而缓慢下来。透过这样方式作家能够达到最高沟通效率,这成为修辞学上形式主义最权威的支持。

  • 作者简介
  • 赫伯特·斯宾塞(Herbert Spencer,1820年4月27日–1903年12月8日) ,英国哲学家。他为人所共知的就是“社会达尔文主义之父”,所提出一套的学说把进化理论适者生存应用在社会学上尤其是教育及阶级斗争。但是,他的著作对很多课题都有贡献,包括规范、形而上学、宗教、政治、修辞、生物和心理学等等。在斯宾塞的时代存在许多著名哲学家和科学家,譬如约翰·斯图亚特·穆勒(John Stewart Mill)、汤马士·亨利·赫胥黎和查尔斯·达尔文都是当代知名的人物。在理论上的阐述英国哲学家,进化论的先驱,先于达尔文。据说斯宾塞比较厌恶柏拉图学说,他那句“即使三流小说家,也会比他(指柏拉图)强,无疑是对柏拉图的侮辱。这大概是因为斯宾塞是一个怀疑论者,而柏却是一个攻击怀疑论的辨证论者。另外,杰克·伦敦对斯宾塞不无推崇,在其代表作《马丁·伊登》中,杰克·伦敦对斯宾塞不无赞美。

    Herbert Spencer (27 April 1820 – 8 December 1903) was an English philosopher, biologist, anthropologist, sociologist, and prominent classical liberal political theorist of the Victorian era.

    Spencer developed an all-embracing conception of evolution as the progressive development of the physical world, biological organisms, the human mind, and human culture and societies. He was "an enthusiastic exponent of evolution" and even "wrote about evolution before Darwin did." As a polymath, he contributed to a wide range of subjects, including ethics, religion, anthropology, economics, political theory, philosophy, literature, biology, sociology, and psychology. During his lifetime he achieved tremendous authority, mainly in English-speaking academia. "The only other English philosopher to have achieved anything like such widespread popularity was Bertrand Russell, and that was in the 20th century." Spencer was "the single most famous European intellectual in the closing decades of the nineteenth century" but his influence declined sharply after 1900; "Who now reads Spencer?" asked Talcott Parsons in 1937.Herbert Spencer (27 April 1820 – 8 December 1903) was an English philosopher, biologist, anthropologist, sociologist, and prominent classical liberal political theorist of the Victorian era.
