From Comte to Benjamin Kidd: The Appeal to Biology or Evolution for Human Guidance is a book written by Robert MacKintosh. The book explores the evolution of social theory, specifically the shift from the positivist philosophy of Auguste Comte to the biological and evolutionary theories of Benjamin Kidd. MacKintosh examines the influence of biology and evolution on social theory and argues that these ideas have been used to justify social inequality and oppression. He also critiques the idea that biology can provide a basis for moral guidance and argues for a more ethical approach to social theory. The book provides a detailed analysis of the historical context and philosophical debates surrounding the use of biology and evolution in social theory, making it a valuable resource for scholars of sociology, philosophy, and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
