Abstract
G. F. Holmes, a Virginian, was the most original theorist among those ante-bellum proslavery writers who attempted to create a sociology sanctioning a paternalistic slave system along Aristotelian lines and directly opposed to nineteenth-century liberalism. An early, if hostile, critic of both Comte's positivism and Spencer's individualism, he later summarized his position in a pioneer textbook, The Science of Society, which appeared in 1883, simultaneously with Ward's Dynamic Sociology.
