Nc>RDAU'S ERRORS.
Lomoroso Tells Where the Author Of "De-
Eencratilx" Goes Astray.

Lombroso Tells Where the Author of sDe-
Eeneratilx" Goes Assray.
Even though starting frc m a new and
Just position, Nordau has gone astray:
Convinced of the scope of the new psy-
chiatric weapon which he had In his
hands, he has so far overshot the mark
as to impair the effect of his purpose.
More alienist than the alienists, he no
sooner finds a neurotic or maddish
author than he thinks his work itself
can be demolished. Thus, after hav-
ing demonstrated by very subtle anal
ysis that in Wagner the philosophic
ideas concerning life are contradictory
or archaic-such as the idea of the
struggle between the flesh and the soul,
or between the spirit and the senses
he concludes that Wagner was there
fore crazy, and not q genius. Like
wise, because of Tolstoi's mysticism, or
his destructivei ideas on love and science.
he deems Tolstoi insane and his books
nonsense.
But probably all geniuses have the &C.
centricities, and even the delirious
ideas, which he notices in Tolstoi,
Wagner and lbsen. The last chapter of
Goethe's wilhelm Meister" is more in
comprehensive and eXtravagant than
the ideas of Tolstoi; while Balzac's
scientific opinions, and his innumer-
able fluids, would find mates in the lit
erature of insane asylums. To dem
onstFate that geniuses are insane is
not difficult, because, as l and others
before me have shown. genius is form
ofdegenerative neurosis. Certainly Poic-
tevin, Mallarme and Gail are degen-
crates and even mattoids. Tolstoi,
Wagner and Swinburne may be mad or
degenerate, but in addition to the quail
tiles just named, and which belong to
the ordinary insane, they have genius;
this is what Nordau has too frequently
forgotten. Degeneration, for one who
follows my theories, instead of destroy
ing, fortities the diagnosis which proves
them to be geniuses, and enlarges it's
range; because only the mediocre have
not maddish forms, for the very reason
that they lack fecund originality, which
is the basis of genius.
The man of genius is the man who
does better than his contemporaries,
and in different way; he is therefore
an abnormal being. an exception. He
is different from his environment. he
is not completely sane as to his intel
lect. he has many physiological and
psychological blemishes. he is afflicted
either by the delirium of persecution,
or by megalo-mania, or by religious de-
lirium, more often by psychic epilepsy.
