The Philosophy of De Gobineau by G.M. Spring

Count Joseph Arthur de Gobineau, 1816-1882; was known as the Father of Racial Theory. In 1853 he wrote the controversial Inequality of the Races. He asserted the superiority of the White race over others and labeled Aryans, i.e., the Germanic peoples, as representing the summit of civilization. His theory that the fate of civilizations is determined by racial composition, that White 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.
