There was no intellectual movement in American history called social Darwinism. The people who were supposedly the leaders of the social Darwinist movement never embraced something called social Darwinism. It didn't exist.

In the evolution of mankind there has always been a certain degree of social coherence.

The anti-Darwin movement has racked up one astounding achievement. It has made a significant proportion of American parents care about what their children are taught in school.

Just as Darwin discovered the law of development of organic nature, so Marx discovered the law of development of human history: the simple fact, hitherto concealed by an overgrowth of ideology, that mankind must first of all eat, drink, have shelter and clothing, before it can pursue politics, science, art, religion, etc.

The perfect example of Darwinism is what technology has done to businesses.

Religion provides us with a puritanical dream, which can never be realized because it goes against human nature.

All the most prominent Darwinists proclaim naturalistic philosophy when they think it safe to do so.

The idea that being human and having rights are equivalent - that rights are inherent - is unintelligible in a Darwinian world.

The great myth that many social scientists want to encourage is that there is an incompatibility between modern technology and traditional religion. This is absolute nonsense. If anything, it's the reverse.

You have to look at history as an evolution of society.
