Social Darwinism and English Thought: The Interaction Between Biological and Social Theory

Harvester Press / Humanities Press

This book seeks to break new ground by providing an original framework within which to understand conservative politics and to compare what has always been thought to be opposite ideal types -- a British conservatism characterized by traditionalism and an American conservatism defined by its optimistic individualism.

First published in 1988, Science, Politics and the Cold War is a history of the cold-war era that demonstrates the extent to which science and scientists have been implicated in every aspect of the political process.The book discusses how politically aware scientists involved themselves in controversies relating to atomic technology and genetics, and how the science world became a battleground between competing ideologies. The politicisation of science is shown to go deeper than any individual issue--right-wing critics of the Soviet Union argued that true science and socialism were incompatible, whilst their opponents forwarded similar arguments about science and capitalism. At the same time, the science world always contained a powerful lobby for political non-alignment, a faction which saw and continues to see science as a force for internationalism. This volume analyses all these positions and draws out the main contours of the politics/science debate in this period.

Tuberculosis mortality in the United States and in Britain was declining in the late nineteenth century but rising in Ireland. Only in the first decade of the twentieth century did mortality from tuberculosis begin to fall and even then it remained higher in Ireland than in Britain and many other European nations throughout the first half of the twentieth century. Why Ireland's pattern of tuberculosis mortality was different is the subject of this book. Several controversies in the history of tuberculosis epidemics are addressed; the degree to which poverty and standard of living played a part in the tuberculosis decline, the role of public health, urbanisation and gender. Because tuberculosis was comparatively higher in Ireland it remained a much more potent political issue well into the twentieth century and the interaction between Ireland's politics and the question of tuberculosis is discussed.
