Eugenics And Other Evils Unabridged And Uncensored: An Argument Against The Scientifically Organized State
Description:
G. K. Chesterton was an early critic of the philosophy of eugenics, expressing this opinion in his book, Eugenics and Other Evils.
Its advocates regarded eugenics as a social philosophy for the improvement of human hereditary traits through various forms of intervention.Today it is widely regarded as a brutal movement which inflicted massive human rights violations on millions of people.
HIs criticism of Eugenics expands into a more general criticism of a modern craze for scientific officialism and strict social organization.
Chesterton's writings consistently displayed wit and a sense of humour. He employed paradox, while making serious comments on the world, government, politics, economics, philosophy, theology and many other topics.
