Evolution and Society

As has been previously discussed, Darwinism can be distinguished from Evolutionism.  For, the fundamental principle of the former is Survival, to which Evolution is a means, while the fundamental principle of the latter is Evolution, which entails Survival, just as Acceleration entails Motion.  But, Social Evolutionism is not merely the result of replacing in Social Darwinism one principle for the other.  For, the concept of Society is extrinsic to Darwinism, i. e. Survival can be that of an organism outside of any relation to organisms of the same species.  In contrast, Social Evolutionism, as has been previously discussed, is a Species drive that seeks Collective Versatility, which is constituted by an organization of its Members.  In other words, the concept of Society is entailed by the concept of Evolutionism, i. e. the qualifier 'Social' is redundant, though useful because instructive.  Any difficulty in grasping that Society per se, and not merely some particular variety of a society, is a product of Evolution, reflects the extent to which Darwinian Evolutionism has strayed from its original attribution to a Species, including in the popular imagination.
