Decadence: Henry Sidgwick Memorial Lecture (1908) is a book written by Arthur James Balfour, a British philosopher, statesman, and Conservative Party politician. The book is a transcript of a lecture Balfour delivered in honor of his friend and colleague, Henry Sidgwick, who was a prominent philosopher and moralist of the Victorian era. In the lecture, Balfour explores the concept of decadence, which he defines as a decline in the moral and cultural values of a society. He argues that decadence is a natural and inevitable part of human history, and that it is often accompanied by a sense of pessimism and despair. Balfour examines various factors that contribute to decadence, including the rise of materialism, the decline of religion, and the loss of faith in traditional values. He also discusses the role of art and literature in reflecting and shaping cultural values, and the ways in which they can either contribute to or resist the trend of decadence. Overall, Decadence: Henry Sidgwick Memorial Lecture (1908) is a thought-provoking exploration of a timeless and universal phenomenon, and a tribute to one of the great thinkers of the Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
