Degeneration

Exploring the concept of societal decline, this work delves into the psychological and physical degeneration of modern civilization. Max Nordau critiques contemporary culture, art, and the moral decay he perceives in society, linking these issues to the rise of what he terms "degenerate" art and thought. Through a blend of philosophy and social commentary, Nordau presents a provocative argument about the dangers of unchecked individualism and the need for a return to traditional values.
