Publisher's Synopsis
""Socialism And Modern Science: Darwin, Spencer, Marx"" is a book written by Italian criminologist and socialist Enrico Ferri in 1900. The book explores the relationship between socialist theory and modern science, with a particular focus on the works of Charles Darwin, Herbert Spencer, and Karl Marx. Ferri argues that socialism is not only compatible with modern scientific discoveries, but that it is actually a necessary response to the social and economic inequalities that these discoveries have revealed. He examines the ways in which Darwin's theory of evolution, Spencer's social Darwinism, and Marx's theory of historical materialism have contributed to our understanding of society and the role of socialism in shaping it. Ferri also critiques the limitations of Spencer's and Darwin's theories, arguing that they fail to account for the role of social and economic factors in shaping human behavior. Ultimately, ""Socialism And Modern Science"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersections between science, philosophy, and politics, and a call to action for those seeking to build a more just and equitable society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
