This is a study in the pathology of cultural criticism. By
analyzing the thought and influence of three leading critics of
modern Germany, this study will demonstrate the dangers and
dilemmas of a particular type of cultural despair. Lagarde,
Langbehn, and Moeller van den Bruck-their active lives spanning the
years from the middle of the past century to the threshold of
Hitler's Third Reich-attacked, often incisively and justly, the
deficiencies of German culture and the German spirit. But they were
more than the critics of Germany's cultural crisis; they were its
symptoms and victims as well. Unable to endure the ills which they
diagnosed and which they had experienced in their own lives, they
sought to become prophets who would point the way to a national
rebirth. Hence, they propounded all manner of reforms, ruthless and
idealistic, nationalistic and utopian. It was this leap from
despair to utopia across all existing reality that gave their
thought its fantastic quality.
