From Comte to Benjamin Kidd by Robert Mackintosh

From Comte to Benjamin Kidd by Robert Mackintosh

Robert Mackintosh (1858 1933), a professor at the Congregationalist Lancashire Independent College, traces the influence of biology and evolutionism on the study of human ethics and society during the second half of the nineteenth century in this 1899 book. He begins with Comte's founding of sociology, and continues with the renewed appeal to biology for the understanding of human affairs found in the work of Darwin, Spencer and their circle. He then looks at Benjamin Kidd's Social Evolution, published in 1894 (and also reissued in this series). Fifty years after Comte, Kidd argued that sociology required further grounding by a new recourse to biology. Mackintosh supported Kidd's view. If biological clues are to afford guidance for human conduct, Mackintosh contended, they must be supplemented by a clearer moral and religious vision, and in philosophy by some scheme of metaphysical evolutionism. His work marks a transition from Darwinism to a new Hegelianism.

Deanne Kim, born and raised in South Africa, studied art for a total of 12 years. Art has taken her on a phenomenal journey wherein she has taught formal art classes internationally whilst residing in the Philippines, as well as in her home country for a total of 20 plus years. Whilst studying through UNISA (University of South Africa), she branched into a new way of teaching, thus developed her 'Art Therapy' classes, which birthed in Johannesburg in 1998. As an Artist, Publisher and 'Therapist', Deanne's love for children and passion for life has led her to write and illustrate educational books ranging from Grade R - 12, collectively resulting in over 60 Educational books produced to date. Deanne's zest for life, writing, teaching and passion never ceased after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 1993. Given a second chance has been the greatest gift and she wants to share what she has discovered with all whom cross her path. Through her own life's journey, she began writing and expressing her experiences -from this she compiled two separate yet integrated books - 'When Cinderbella Gets Divorced' and 'The Cracked Slipper'.
