Sinopsis
Excerpt from Evolution and Social Progress
The first logical consequence of the acceptance of the dogma of materialistic evolution is the denial of the free will. If nothing exists except matter and force, there can obviously be no moral liberty. Physical laws or chemical actions and reactions can clearly possess no freedom. 50 human agents could be no more virtuous or crimi nal than the wind and the waste sea when the drown the wrecked sailor or toss him about on the floating log and wash him to the shore. We should then heartily agree with Enrico Ferri, when he proclaims the palpable refutations by physio-psychology of the presupposition of free choice or moral liberty,' and declares the theoretical and practical impossibility of resting man's responsibility for his crimes upon free choice, either absolute or relative.

Excerpt from Evolution and Social Progress
The subject treated here calls for no introduction. Its significance for the man in the street is no less than for the scientist and philosopher, the clergyman and student, the sociologist and journalist. It is of all questions the most fundamental as it is the most far-reaching in its consequences. It is at the basis not merely of our science and our popular literature, but also of our commercial transactions and our labor troubles, of our public morality and the welfare or ruin of nations. All this is made abundantly clear to the reader in the present volume.
Men believe in God or in materialistic evolution. There is no other alternative. Scientists plainly state this fact, and the masses have not failed to grasp it.
Worker and capitalist, professional man and university professor, the great public and the social elite equally absorbed the evolutionary ideas of the nineteenth century. The technicalities of science did not frighten them away. What then they studied is now taken for granted. To-day they are drawing their logical conclusions.
