Through a series of compelling biographical portraits spanning the 19th and 20th centuries, Herman traces the roots of declinism and shows how major thinkers of the past and present, including Friedrich Nietzche, W.E.B. DuBois, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michael Foucault, have contributed to its development as a coherent ideology of cultural pessimism.
