Sozialdarwinismus, gibt es den überhaupt?
Eric Michael Johnson meint nein (I, II, III):
–––What all of this suggests, quite obviously, is that “social Darwinism” had very little Darwinism in it. What is more likely to have occurred is that, because Darwin was the most famous naturalist of the nineteenth century, any ideas that were associated with evolution (whether based on his theory or not) were lumped togeth…er and labeled “Darwinian.” However, as the second and third categorical objections will emphasize, the entire label itself may have very little explanatory power.
Naja ja….
Und was denkst du?
Das man besser von z.B. Spencerismus reden sollte.
