Book Overview

""Buckle and His Critics: A Study in Sociology"" is a book written by John Mackinnon Robertson and published in 1895. The book is a critical analysis of the work of historian and philosopher Henry Thomas Buckle, who wrote ""History of Civilization in England"". Robertson examines Buckle's theories and ideas, focusing on his belief that human behavior is determined by natural laws and that progress is inevitable. The book also looks at the criticisms of Buckle's work, including those from contemporary scholars such as John Stuart Mill and Herbert Spencer. Robertson argues that Buckle's ideas were important in the development of sociology as a discipline and that his work should be taken seriously despite its flaws. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of sociology and the development of social theory.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
