Socialism and Modern Science

Enrico Ferri's "Socialism and Modern Science (Darwin, Spencer, Marx)" explores the intellectual landscape of socialism through the lenses of Darwinism, Marxism, and the philosophy of Herbert Spencer. This influential work delves into the connections between socialist thought and developments in science during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Ferri examines the scientific underpinnings of socialist ideology, engaging with key concepts from Darwinian evolution and Spencer's sociological theories. The book offers a critical perspective on the foundations of what was then known as scientific socialism, providing valuable insight into the history of political ideologies. Readers interested in the intersection of science, philosophy, and political thought, particularly the evolution of socialism and its relationship to thinkers like Herbert Spencer and Karl Marx, will find this historical text to be of significant interest. A vital resource for understanding the intellectual currents that shaped modern social and political movements.
