Summary: "Socialism and Modern Science (Darwin, Spencer, Marx)" by Enrico Ferri is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book explores the relationship between contemporary socialist movements and modern scientific thought, particularly in relation to Darwinian evolution, Spencerian sociology, and Marxist ideology. Ferri aims to demonstrate that socialism is not in contradiction with these scientific principles but is, in fact, a natural consequence of them. The opening of the work sets the stage for a critical examination of the alleged contradictions between socialism and Darwinian theories, as presented at a Congress in Munich in the late 19th century. Ferri introduces key figures such as Emil von Virchow and Ernst Haeckel, who debated Darwinism's implications for society, with Haeckel asserting that Darwinism opposes socialist ideals. In contrast, Ferri argues that socialism recognizes the inequality of individuals but advocates for equal rights and benefits for all, viewing socialism as a necessary evolution in societal organization, informed by scientific understanding. He posits that the struggles of the poor and working-class are a reaction to the inequalities perpetuated by economic systems, thus framing socialism as integral to the advancement of human society in harmony with scientific progress.
