Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Degeneration Dear and Honoured Master, I dedicate this book to you, in open and joyful recognition of the fact that without your labours it could never have been written. The notion of degeneracy, first introduced into science by Morel, and developed with so much genius by yourself, has in your hands already shown itself extremely fertile in the most diverse directions. On numerous obscure points of psychiatry, criminal law, politics, and sociology, you have poured a veritable flood of light, which those alone have not perceived who obdurately close their eyes, or who are too shortsighted to derive benefit from any enlightenment whatsoever. But there is a vast and important domain into which neither you nor your disciples have hitherto borne the torch of your method - the domain of art and literature. Degenerates are not always criminals, prostitutes, anarchists, and pronounced lunatics; they are often authors and artists. These, however, manifest the same mental characteristics, and for the most part the same somatic features, as the members of the above-mentioned anthropological family, who satisfy their unhealthy impulses with the knife of the assassin or the bomb of the dynamiter, instead of with pen and pencil.
