This article not only examines developments in Bernard Shaw's scientific and intellectual thinking on evolution and eugenics during the Victorian period comparing these with how his contemporaries reflect changes in thought on the subject and related issues but also explores how Shaw's ideas on eugenics is perceived in his Man and Superman. Shaw develops the Galtonian eugenic idea of improving the human race through selective reproduction to create a superior man with his view of the eugenic breeding of the superman. It is a vision of an improved species of man who contributes to the better society. For the human progress, Shaw's development of superior human intelligence relates to the eugenic breeding of a super-race of superman. In this regard, real social progress can be achieved only through every individual's evolution into a superman.
Shaw's vision of the eugenic breeding of superman can be understood in terms of an exploration of human potentiality and a belief in its possibilities in the service of the life force. For the purpose of life force, the different roles of male and female characters are put in Shaw's plays. Through the instinctive life force with its vital power in woman and the intellectual life force with its self-consciousness and self-knowledge in man, each force contributes to the improvement of the humankind in its own way for the purpose of each force's eugenic breeding of superman.
Shaw's eugenic breeding of superman in relation to his philosophy of creative evolution includes metaphysical as well as biological implications based on a concept of vitalism with a purpose, an evolutionary appetite. According to Shaw, the life force has not only created man but also inspires man to be creative and to strive towards a higher form of evolution. Shaw looked forward to the evolution of a near-superman, a superman, a super-superman and finally to a state of pure thought in which man would be perfect and free from all his physical impediments. To Shaw, despite the negative effects of eugenic purpose, the ultimate goal of the life force is the eugenic breeding of superman and true social progress. Accordingly, all of Shaw's characters in the plays realize their roles as agents of the life force and act with understanding of the requirements for real human progress.
