ARYANS Joseph-Arthur de Gobineau – comte de Gobineau – Essai sur l’inégalité des races humaines, 4 vol. (1853–55; Essay on the Inequality of Human Races). He advanced the theory that the fate of civilizations is determined by racial composition, that white and in particular Aryan societies flourish as long as they remain free of black and yellow strains, and that the more a civilization’s racial character is diluted through miscegenation, the more likely it is to lose its vitality and creativity and sink into corruption and immorality. Gobineau’s theories, now discredited (by whom, when?), were the product of years of historical, anthropological, and ethnological studies and were part of a general European interest in biological and sociological determinism. The Essai had a marked effect on the thinking of such men as the Germans Richard Wagner and Friedrich Nietzsche, and, in time, a movement called Gobinism developed. Gobineau himself was concerned with a scholarly examination of the mechanics of human social life rather than with racist political programs. https://www.britannica.com/topic/race-human/Gobineaus-Essay-on-the-Inequality-of-Human-Ra https://www.britannica.com/biography/Arthur-de-Gobineau https://www.britannica.com/topic/race-human/Gobineaus-Essay-on-the-Inequality-of-Human-Rac
