| Summary |
"Socialismo y ciencia positiva (Darwin-Spencer-Marx)" by Enrico Ferri is a sociological treatise written in the late 19th century. This work explores the intersections of socialism with the principles of Darwinism, Spencer's sociology, and Marxist theory. It delves into the arguments surrounding the compatibility of these theories and addresses the socio-economic conditions that inspire the socialist movement, emphasizing the evolution of society as a critical backdrop to understanding contemporary issues. At the start of the text, the translator introduces the reader to the context in which Ferri's ideas will unfold, emphasizing the relevance of socialism to Argentine society at the time. Ferri's intention becomes clear; he aims to reconcile socialist ideals with scientific thought, particularly as influenced by Darwin and Spencer. In this opening, he critiques misconceptions surrounding socialism, advocates for its understanding and acceptance, and highlights the socio-economic evolution in Europe and its implications for Argentina. The discussion sets the stage for a deeper examination of how socialism emerges as a necessary response to societal inequalities perpetuated by capitalist structures, suggesting a philosophical alignment between the tenets of successful social organization and modern scientific principles.
