person
Max Nordau
also: Макс Нордау
Hungarian-born physician, social critic, and popular writer, best known for "Entartung" ("Degeneration," 1892), which diagnosed contemporary art and culture as symptoms of biological and psychological decay; Shamokhin cites him, dismissively, as the type of "second-rate philosopher" who would explain constant Russian talk of women as mere "erotic derangement."
