Decadence: Henry Sidgwick Memorial Lecture (1908) is a book written by Arthur James Balfour. In this book, Balfour explores the concept of decadence and its impact on society. He argues that decadence is not just a decline in moral values or cultural norms, but a deeper and more fundamental problem that affects all aspects of human life. Balfour draws on a variety of sources, including literature, philosophy, and history, to support his argument. He also examines the role of science and technology in contributing to decadence, and offers suggestions for how society can address this issue. Originally delivered as a lecture in memory of the philosopher Henry Sidgwick, this book is a thought-provoking exploration of a timeless issue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
