1864Due voll. in -8°, pp. (2), VIII, 492, (2); (2) VIII, 574, (2); illustrazioni nel testo; legatura in tela editoriale con fregi in oro ai piatti e titoli al dorso. Prima edizione in volume di questo importante lavoro del filosofo e scienziato inglese, considerato un caposaldo dell’evoluzionismo: questo è un’esemplare della seconda tiratura fatta contestualmente alla prima e al frontespizio porta la dicitura “Stereotyped-Second Thousand”). Lo stesso Darwin avrebbe sostenuto, dopo aver letto il lavoro, che la coniazione spenceriana “sopravvivenza del più adatto” (in quest’opera impiegata per la prima volta) fosse preferibile alla sua “selezione naturale”. Il tentativo di Spencer è di armonizzare le teorie di Darwin, introdotte poco tempo prima, con il meccanismo individuato da Lamarck di “carattere acquisito”. I “Principles of Biology” uscì a dispense prima di essere riunito in questi due volumi, dispense pubblicate fra il ’64 e il ’67, ed è parte del progetto di “Synthetic Philosophy” intorno al quale il pensatore inglese lavorò tra il 1862 e il 1893, un progetto da intendersi anche come editoriale, e del quale questi due volumi costituiscono la seconda parte (dopo i “First Principles”. Questa copia comprende, in entrambi i volumi, il prospetto del progetto nonché l’informazione dell’editore sulle altre opere di Spencer. Sono comprese anche le appendici, fatto non comunissimo. First edition (but “second thousand”) of this important work by the english scientist, it’s considered a cornerstone of the evolutionism. The Spencer’s effort was to put together the Darwin theories with these of Lamarck.
