3 A physiological conception of society, or of the community, had been employed before – e.g., by the Physiocrats, – and such a concept was reached also by English speculators – e.g., Herbert Spencer – during Roscher’s lifetime; but these physiological conceptions of society are reached by a different line of approach from that which led up to the late-Hegelian physiological or biological conception of human culture as a spiritual structure and process. The outcome is also a different one, both as regards the use made of the analogy and as regards the theoretical result reached by its aid.

It may be remarked, by the way, that neo-Hegelianism, of the “Left,” [77] likewise gave rise to a theory of a self-determining cultural exfoliation; namely, the so-called “Materialistic Conception of History” of the Marxian socialists. This Marxian conception, too, had much of a physiological air; but Marx and his coadjutors had an advantage over Roscher and his following, in that they were to a greater extent schooled in the Hegelian philosophy, instead of being uncritical receptacles of the Romantic commonplaces left by Hegelianism as a residue in popular thought. They were therefore more fully conscious of the bearing of their postulates and less naïve in their assumptions of self-sufficiency.
