About this book

Herbert Spencer planned a whole system of philosophy, and First Principles is its first volume. This printing is the Second Thousand, published in London in 1863. The preface reprints his prospectus of March 1860: Part I, The Unknowable, is meant to reconcile Science and Religion in a belief in an Absolute beyond human conception, and Part II, Laws of the Knowable, states the highest generalizations that hold across all classes of phenomena.

The same prospectus lists the later works, among them The Principles of Biology and The Principles of Psychology.
