More about the book
The book offers a critical examination of late 19th-century society, asserting that its foundations are rooted in lies and delusions rather than reason. Nordau scrutinizes politics, religion, art, and science, portraying politicians as self-serving, religion as oppressive, and art as decadent. He divides his analysis into a critique of contemporary beliefs and a vision for a rational civilization grounded in truth and justice. His provocative ideas sparked significant discussion and remain relevant, encouraging readers to reflect on their own values.
