The Data of Ethics
Herbert Spencer
Spencer rushed this into print fearing he would not live to finish his system; ethics, he said, was the part that mattered most. The Data of Ethics grounds conduct in evolution: good and bad measured by more complete life, with the physical, biological, and social views each taken in turn. The century's boldest attempt at a scientific morality. Judge the data yourself.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
