Max Simon Nordau (born Simon Maximilian Südfeld; 29 July 1849 – 23 January 1923) was a Zionist leader, physician, author, and social critic.[1] He was a co-founder of the Zionist Organization together with Theodor Herzl, and president or vice-president of several Zionist congresses.
In his younger years he was known as a social critic, writing The Conventional Lies of Our Civilisation (1883), Degeneration (1892), and Paradoxes (1896). By 1913, Nordau was established as the earliest major critic of modernism.[2] Although not his most popular or successful work while alive, Degeneration is the book most often remembered and cited today.
