Extrait : ""La plupart de ceux qui passent à présent pour des libéraux, sont des torys d'un nouveau type. Voila le paradoxe que je me propose de justifier. Pour faire cette preuve, je suis obligé de montrer d'abord ce qu'étaient ces deux partis politiques à l'origine, et de prier ensuite le lecteur de m'excuser si je lui rappelle des faits qui lui sont familiers, ne pouvant autrement lui bien faire comprendre la nature intrinsèque du vrai torysme et du vrai libéralisme...""

Do citizens have the right to act as if the government does not exist? That's the controversial question that British philosopher Herbert Spencer takes on in the thought-provoking essay ""The Right to Ignore the State."" In Spencer's view, the answer is a resounding ""yes."" Whether you're a die-hard libertarian or someone who is interested in learning more about that political philosophy, this brief but compelling essay is a solid introduction.

"The miscellaneous writings of Herbert Spencer, originally published in various English periodicals, were collected by the Author and reissued in London in two volumes, under the title of "Essays Scientific, Political, and Speculative," first and second series--the former appearing in 1857, and the latter in 1863. Neither of these volumes has been printed in this country, though a small edition of the second series was imported in sheets, bound and sold in a few weeks. The increasing demand for these works on this side of the Atlantic, and the impracticability of obtaining them from England, owing to the high rate of exchange, made it desirable to republish them here. This collection embraced the more strictly scientific articles, and those which bore most directly upon the general doctrine of progress or evolution. The present volume puts the American public in possession of Mr. Spencer's remaining essays. Although some of the following essays may seem to be confined to the consideration of English policy, yet this limitation is only apparent. English facts and experiences are taken as examples and illustrations, but the discussions strike through to principles of universal moment and applicability" (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)

In 1862, the British philosopher Herbert Spencer (1820–1903) published this preamble to a planned series of publications on biology, psychology, sociology and morality. In it, he states that religion and science can be reconciled by their shared belief in an Absolute, and that ultimate principles can be discerned in all manifestations of the Absolute, particularly the general laws of nature being discovered by science. Spencer divides his text into two parts. Part I, 'The Unknowable', discusses early philosophical ideas that human knowledge is limited and cannot meaningfully conceive of God; faith must be the bridge between human experience and ultimate truth. Spencer refutes this as he examines religion and science in detail. In Part II, 'Laws of the Knowable', Spencer argues that religion and science can be reconciled in the underlying unity from which the visible complexity of the universe has evolved
