| Summary | "Aristocracy & Evolution" by W. H. Mallock is a sociological study written in the late 19th century. The book explores the concept of aristocracy not as a mere hereditary class, but as a representation of the exceptionally talented and efficient minority across society. The author aims to examine the social rights, origins, and functions of the wealthier classes and challenges prevailing sociological doctrines. The opening portion of the work outlines the shift in scientific focus from physical and physiological evolution to the evolution of society and social structures, suggesting that this new direction has attracted intellectual scrutiny. Mallock critiques contemporary sociological methods, arguing that they tend to ignore the role of exceptional individuals—"great men"—in societal progress. Through his analysis, he aims to pinpoint the fundamental errors in modern sociological study related to aggregating human experiences, thereby setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the relationship between societal evolution and the influence of the aristocracy.
