The Shark and the Pilot Fish, the Influences of the Theory of Evolution on the Social Sciences
Abstract
Through unimpassioned controversy one best pays court to truth; hence, every controversial paper should begin, as do all well-conducted courtships, with a definite statement of intention. The thesis of this paper, then, may be compactly expressed as follows: That the application of the principles of Evolution in other departments of knowledge is unreasonable, since it is a purely biological theory, as yet unproved; and this application is due to the perversion of the historical method.
