Title: The Culture of Critique
Subtitle: An Evolutionary Analysis of Jewish Involvement in Twentieth-Century Intellectual and Political Movements
First published: 1998
Description: In this third and final volume of his controversial trilogy, evolutionary psychologist Kevin MacDonald offers a sweeping, interdisciplinary examination of how Jewish groups have shaped - and been shaped by - modern Western thought. Drawing on a wide range of historical, sociological, and psychological sources, MacDonald argues that many Jewish intellectual currents can be understood as part of a coordinated “group evolutionary strategy.”

 - Anti‑Semitism and Racial Competition
   – Treated not merely as prejudice but
   as a strategic response within a
   broader racial‑competitive framework,
   where distinct groups vie for
   cultural, economic, and political
   resources.
 - Jewish Support for Non‑White
   Immigration – Advocacy for
   immigration into European‑dominated
   societies is analyzed as a way to
   alter demographic balances and
   diminish the relative power of host
   populations.
 - Deconstructive Critiques of Western
   Values – Examines how Jewish
   intellectuals have historically
   challenged Western norms, values, and
   epistemologies, positioning these
   critiques as mechanisms to weaken the
   confidence and influence of the
   majority culture.
 - Historical Contextualization – Traces
   the evolution of Jewish participation
   in philosophy, literature, science,
   and politics from the Enlightenment
   through the twentieth century,
   showing how each era’s ideas fit
   within the proposed evolutionary
   model.

Designed for scholars, students of history and psychology, and readers interested in the intersections of culture, biology, and politics, *The Culture of Critique* presents a provocative synthesis that invites rigorous debate about the forces shaping modern societies.
