Document Summary

Spencer s view of history: suggested that survival of the fittest was a nasty process but balanced out by natural selection. Idea that the culture of the elite would trickle down and improve the lower classes as well. Baechre probably didn t take much from darwin, he rejected key elements of spencer s argument such as the fact that society would balance out itself. Interest in the higher class is their autonomy and nature to be cruel these things constituted the upper class. gender differences is another set of opportunities, he was one of the first to say the low regard of women work. Feblan is much more critical of the upper class, sees them as a historical creation that doesn t have to be there and for baechre the upper class couldn t be any better. Max weber: different from baechre to felban closer to feblan, study of the protestant ethic.
