HTML version by Al Haines. "Physics and Politics, or, Thoughts on the Application of the Principles of 'Natural Selection' and 'Inheritance' to Political Society" by Walter Bagehot is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work explores the intersection of scientific theories, particularly those of natural selection and inheritance, with the evolution of political structures and societies. Bagehot aims to illustrate how scientific principles may influence political thought and societal developments through time. The opening of the text sets the stage for a discussion on the influence of physical knowledge and science on politics and social organization. Bagehot emphasizes that contemporary advancements in science have revealed much about human behavior, suggesting that our understanding of individual and collective political actions can benefit from a framework similar to that used in natural sciences. He introduces concepts such as the historical influence of ancestry on individual traits and behaviors, indicating that both personal and social progress can be traced back through generations, thereby linking scientific theories of heredity to the evolution of political structures. Through this exploration, Bagehot aims to blend historical analysis with contemporary scientific ideas to suggest a cohesive theory of political evolution influenced by the principles of natural selection.
