Abstract
This paper analyzes the role of Enrico Ferri's book, Socialism and Positive Science, in the process of programmatic definitions that shaped Argentine Socialism in the mid-1890s. In so doing, it addresses an aspect until now unexplored: the differences that emerged between the editors of La Vanguardia, openly favorable to Ferri's interpretations, and those of the Vorwärts, the German-language newspaper that had pioneered local socialism. The article reveals that the Argentine discussionlargely replicated exchanges taking place in Europe, after a critical review of Ferri's book published by Karl Kautsky in Die Neue Zeit.
