It is impossible to evaluate separately the operations of thought, feeling and will. The self functions as one and to separate the working of the intellect and the moral factor is like trying to decide which comes first the chicken or the egg. Since he did not pretend to be a scientist, as did Spencer, we should not criticize him too harshly when he invades the field of science. He did his task in calling attention, as neither Comte nor Spencer had done, to the mighty influence of the physical ...environment on social progress, in pointing out that evolution took a new turn when it had developed the human organism including the brain of man, and in emphasizing that distinction most important in our discussion, between what Professor Carver and others call passive and active adaptation. The task of setting forth the relation between the physical environment and social progress, so well begun by Buckle, has been carried forward by Friedrich Ratzel, W. Z. Ripley, and others. The work of the former has been interpreted with some modifications by his pupil and disciple, Ellen Churchill Semple, and furnishes an important contribution to the doctrine of social progress by passive adaptation.
