Degeneration is a book written by Max Nordau, a Hungarian-born physician and writer, in 1892. The book explores the concept of degeneration, which Nordau defines as the decline of individual and societal health and morality. Nordau argues that degeneration is caused by a range of factors, including heredity, environment, and modernity.Throughout the book, Nordau examines various forms of degeneration, including insanity, criminality, and sexual deviancy. He also critiques the cultural movements of his time, such as the decadent art movement and the rise of socialism, which he believes contribute to the degeneration of society.Nordau's arguments are rooted in the scientific and medical theories of his time, and he draws on a range of disciplines, including psychology, anthropology, and criminology. He also provides numerous case studies and examples to support his arguments.The book was controversial when it was first published and sparked a debate about the nature of degeneration and the role of science in understanding it. Today, it is considered a seminal work in the history of psychology and a significant contribution to the study of mental health and social behavior.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1895 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
