About Social Darwinism in American Thought, 1860-1915

Social Darwinism in American Thought portrays the overall influence of Darwin on American social theory and u0026 the notable battle waged among thinkers over the implications of evolutionary theory for social thought and u0026 political action. Theorists such as Herbert Spencer and u0026 Wm Graham Sumner adopted the idea of the struggle for existence as justification for the evils as well as the benefits of laissez-faire modern industrial society. Others such as Wm James and u0026 John Dewey argued that human planning was needed to direct social development and u0026 improve upon the natural order. Hofstadter’s study of the ramifications of Darwinism is a major analysis of the social philosophies that animated intellectual movements of the Gilded Age and u0026 the Progressive Era.IntroductionAuthor’s NoteAuthor’s IntroductionThe Coming of Darwinism The Vogue of Spencer William Graham Sumner: Social DarwinistLester Ward: Critic Evolution, Ethics and u0026 SocietyThe DissentersThe Current of Pragmatism Trends in Social Theory, 1890-1915Racism and u0026 ImperialismConclusionBibliographyNotesIndex
