Dive into the provocative and enlightening world of 'Degenerate Moderns' by E. Michael Jones, a groundbreaking exploration of the moral underpinnings of 20th-century intellectual movements. With 237 pages of meticulous research and compelling argumentation, Jones unveils the personal lives and philosophies of influential modern thinkers like Margaret Mead, Sigmund Freud, Alfred Kinsey, and Pablo Picasso, revealing how their personal desires shaped their professional outputs and, by extension, modern culture itself. Jones's thesis challenges readers to confront the dichotomy between truth and desire, suggesting that the intellectual and cultural shifts of the modern era are deeply intertwined with the sexual misbehaviors of its leading figures.
Praised by critics for its well-researched content, 'Degenerate Moderns' is heralded as a "brilliant new book" by Patrick J. Buchanan and a "fascinating" read by Phyllis Schlafly, among others. The book delves into the controversial use of biography to critique the foundations of modern thought, arguing that personal vices have been transformed into public virtues, with profound implications for society's moral fabric.
Whether dissecting the flawed methodologies of iconic studies or exposing the private lives of its subjects, Jones's work is both a critique of modernity and a call to recognize the influence of personal morality on public ideology. Described as "a masterly study of the modern mind" and "a powerful argument" by reviewers, this book is essential reading for those seeking to understand the complexities of modern intellectual trends and their impact on contemporary society.
Join E. Michael Jones on this intellectual journey through the lives and legacies of some of the most talked-about figures in modern history.
