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 they 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.
