Degenerate Moderns Modernity as Rationalized Sexual Misbehavior

This book explores how leading figures in modern thought and culture rationalized their own immoral behavior, projecting it onto a universal canvas. It argues that intellectual life offers two paths: conforming desire to truth or truth to desire. Over the last century, the Western cultural elite reversed these values, subjecting truth to desire as the ultimate intellectual criterion. Examining biographies of figures like Freud, Kinsey, Keynes, Mead, and Picasso, the book reveals a consistent pattern where personal sexual misbehavior influenced their ideologies and art forms.
