Nordau spent a career diagnosing civilization, and here he asks where its morals came from. Translated from his Biologie der Ethik, the argument grounds conscience in biology and society, tracing morality's evolution alongside man's own. The author of Degeneration in a constructive mood. Provocative, learned, and unafraid of its conclusions.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
