How Did Charles Darwin Influence Positivism
Charles Darwin influence on the development of positivist theory help shift the explanation of criminal behavior to evolutionary theories(Bohm & Vogel, 2011). He expressed that he does accept supernatural phenomena and causation. Darwin stated that an individual had the freedom to believe in God even if they accepted evolution. Darwin emphasized that the bible described the origin and other cultures were contradicting any aspect of the natural world. By eliminating God from the ram of the scientific explanation has given a rise to positivism, by producing a powerful intellectual and spiritual revolution. Also, he used scientific foundation for ethics. In doing so, an individual was given a reward for good behavior, in which this type of reward
was enhanced their own survival and reproduction success, by allowing pure selfishness in leading to sound ethics. His theory gave an insight that evolutionary biology is based on concepts rather than law. Charles Darwin also developed a set of principles that help people thinking about the world, through evolution, can be explained without recourse to supernaturalism. He shared his vision that all individuals are important in education and refutation of racism.
