Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the profound historical connection between the burgeoning child protection movement and the theories of Darwinism and socialism. The author provides a comparative analysis of child protection in Europe during a time of rapid population growth and industrialization, driven by the ideology of Social Darwinism. Darwinism, with its emphasis on the survival of the fittest, influenced the prevailing view that only the strong deserved to reproduce and the weak were better off dead, resulting in the neglect of children from the lower classes. This book explores how this ideology shaped legal and public health policies, leading to the establishment of child protection organizations and the development of new ideas about education, eugenics, and the rights of children. The book not only provides historical context but also contains valuable insights into the ethical dilemmas surrounding child protection that remain relevant today.
