Podrobné informace

The collection of essays titled &quote;Decadence and Other Essays on the Culture of Ideas&quote; was written by French Symbolist poet and essayist Remy de Gourmont. With a focus on the concept of decadence, the 1899 book explores a variety of facets of late 19th-century intellectual and cultural life. In these pieces, Gourmont offers insightful analyses of literature, art, and society while delving into the philosophical and cultural changes of the era. A major theme is the idea of decadence, which was a common idea in late 19th-century European philosophy. Gourmont investigates the seeming erosion of conventional norms, the complexity of modernity, and the influence of novel concepts on literature and the arts. Gourmont's ideas on symbolism, the artist's function, the evolving definition of beauty, and the impact of science and technology on culture are all explored in depth in these writings. Gourmont's writing is distinguished by its perceptive insights, poetic language, and depth of thought. Gourmont's examination of decadence is indicative of the wider philosophical and cultural debates of his era, which makes the collection an invaluable tool for anyone studying the development of thought in the late 19th century.
