Social Darwinism and the Natural Law

Bradley Watson at Public Discourse.

"According to the social Darwinists and those who would follow in their footsteps, a new social science was indebted to Darwin, whose organic, genetic, and experimental logic could be brought to bear on an array of human problems heretofore considered insoluble, or at least perennial."

See Darwin, Autobiography, in Gateway to the Great Books (10 Vol., 1963) volume 8, The Origin of Species and The Descent of Man, in Great Books of the Western World (first edition, 52 Vol., 1952) volume 49, (second edition, 60 Vol., 1990) volume 49.
