Pessimism Is a tiansttory slate of Aryan thought, but It S tho ncrmul Condition o filohrow thought. As Itcnnu observed, in tho whole of tho Bible thro nro only two bright nnd Joyful bookB the "Song of Solomon" and tho "Uook of l-jcclcslnBtes." All tho rest, espcclnlly the Prophets nii'l tho ""Hook of Job," form ono Biibllmi and colossal cry of pain. Even to day, nfter tho Inpse of ninny con turlcs, every Jew of genius Is almost destined to convoy bnd tidings to mon, for nil tho grcnt Jowlsh think ers hnvo almost nlways brought to light Bomo painful phenomenon of 1'fo. Thus Spinoza announced -to mankind thnt good nnd ovll do not exist; Mnrx, thnt society Is .tho bnt tlofleld of a 'desporato strugglo be tween tho socla.1 classes; Lnssallo, that; by tho "braron lnw," workmen, in splto of thoir most Btronuous.of forts, enn novor oarn moro than the minimum which Is' Just sufficient to keep thorn from starvation. In this Lombroso shares the com mon fate of his race. Not only has he affirmed that clvlllzntloh nugmonto crime and thnt man is fundamentally Inclined to evil; but he has formu lated tho theory, which Is, porhapB, tho moBt pessimistic ono of tho whole century tho theory which Jb dostlned to destroy tho horo worship Intro duced by Carlylo and which has ho many followers In England I mean tho theory that gonlus is a form of degeneracy.
