This is Volume XI of twenty-one of collection of works on Individual Differences. Initially published in 1931, it offers a look at the psychology of genius and is created from the careful examination of a very comprehensive primary source of material in the form of artistic works, but more especially of letters, diaries, memoirs and the original reports of contemporaries. This book is concerned entirely with the personality of genius, the laws governing its biological origin and the psychology of its inner instinctive structure.

This book deals with the Psychology of Genius and the relation between Genius and Insanity. "The psychological analysis of famous poets will show that the intellectual function is no whit less important a factor of poetic genius than fancy itself, although the latter is the one immediately employed in the act of composition. We have seen that creative fancy works with the material which former impressions of sense have left behind as their remains or residua. The more comprehensive the knowledge of the poet, therefore, and the more he is in condition to assimilate and compact the impressions the world conveys to him, and the sounder and truer his judgments of persons and situations, and the more methodical his thought and the better his memory, by so much the more will his fancy display luxuriance, and so much more various will be his creations.

First published in English in 1891, the present work argues that genius is a morbid condition, a form of insanity (albeit a very special one), which often occurs alongside physical or other mental abnormalities. Alexander was short. Cardano a hypochondriac. Socrates had a cretin-like physiognomy. Giotto had rickets. Kant had an abnormal development of the left parietal bone. Erasmus stammered. Saint Paul was an epileptic. Coleridge an alcoholic. Nerval a manic depressive. Carlyle abused his wife. Lombroso surveys hundreds of artistic, literary, and religious figures, noting the aberrations in their personalities, private lives, habits, creative work, physical traits, and psychological characteristics. The theory herein advanced, though controversial even in its day, proved nevertheless culturally influential. Notably, the author offered one of the earliest examinations of the art of the insane. Hans Prinzhorn, author of The Artistry of the Mentally Ill (1922) was inspired by Lombroso's examination of psychiatric art. Prinzhorn's work would in turn inspire Jean Dubuffet to found the Art Brut movement. Similarly, Max Nordau's Degeneration (1892)-an attack on degenerate art-owes much to Lombroso's work concerning men of genius in art and literature. Though outdated as a scientific study, with its fusion of criminology, criminal anthropology, degeneration theory, psychiatry, physiognomy, and Social Darwinism, The Man of Genius remains, all the same, a landmark in the history of ideas. And, though modern psychology classes much of what Lombroso deemed signs of insanity as minor aberrations, have his insights not retained an element of truth?

Excerpt from General Types of Superior Men: A Philosophico-Psychological Study of Genius, Talent and Philistinism in Their Bearings Upon Human Society and Its Struggle for a Better Social Order "General Types of Superior Men" is one of those immortal, epoch-making works which appear only at very long intervals, and which leave an indelible, constructive impression on the mind of the world and mark a century mile-stone on the arduous and painful path of the world's intellectual development. This is so because such a work as this springs from the bottom-most deep of a prophetic soul which is moved by an insatiable and impervertible impulse for truth as well as by the purest love for the entire human family. This present work gives us vastly more than can be inferred from the title. The psychology of the various and many types of superior men is merely the nucleus of his subject from which Mr. Schwarz ventures into all regions of human knowledge in order to build up his original philosophy of human life. His philosophy, as embodied in this work and in two as yet unpublished works on ethics, is not the nebulous, lifeless, grandiloquent but meaningless theorizing of our universities, but is the reasoning of an intensely original thinker - one who deals with the realism of life, who is not afraid to touch upon the fierce class struggle that seems to him to threaten to strangle human progress, and one who uses simple, easily intelligible language because he really has something freshly new and intelligible to say under the sun.

A review from Public Opinion: A Comprehensive Summary of the Press Throughout the World, Volume 21: DR. HIRSCH'S opening chapter defines, so far as definable, the limits of insanity, for the purposes of showing that in order to determine the state of mental sanity or insanity, it does not suffice to produce absurd modes of behavior or extraordinary temper. As we can hardly pronounce a man to lie insane from any conduct until we know what his motives are, we ought not judge from a part, but from the whole of his mental condition. Hence, so far as single conditions go, no sharp line of demarcation can be drawn between mental sanity and insanity. Then follows an attempt to define genius. Dr. Hirsch objects to the definition that genius and talent are merely different degrees of the same quality, on the ground that it would leave the word genius of little value as a psychological term, and finally arrives at the conclusion that the word really has no psychological meaning. Undoubtedly all men of genius have common traits, but they are not traits characteristic of genius; they are such as are possessed by other men and more or less by all men. Having come to the conclusion that the designation "genius" does not designate anyone psychological concept, and also that insanity is equally indefinable, Dr. Hirsch attempts to compare two such indefinable quantities. Quoting approvingly Claude Bernard's opinion that between any form of disease and health there are only differences of degree, and that no disease is anything more than an exaggeration or disproportion of normal phenomena, he adds that this is true of all diseases, whether they be of corporeal or mental origin. Hence the decision whether anything is to be considered as a disease or not cannot be made to depend on how far the phenomena depart from a norm. The usual well-known cases of famous men who are said to have experienced hallucinations—Napoleon, Cromwell, Luther and the rest—are given, with the author's opinion that it would be preposterous to regard all these great men as subject to occasional disorders of the mind or as approaching insanity in any way. Many other idiosyncrasies of famous men are adduced and the conclusion arrived at that they merely resemble traits of the insane and are not real affinities. Genius resembles insanity as gold resembles brass—the similarity is merely in the appearance. A chapter on "Degeneration" follows, evidently written before the appearance of Nordau's book, but the whole subject of a universal degeneracy is disposed of later with the remark that there is no proof of such a condition in the highly civilized nations. Dr. Hirsch grants that a sort of hysteria does exist, but say that, thanks to the progress of science, the influence of mental disorder upon the general culture is decidedly less than in former periods of history. Under the heads of Secular Hysteria and Art and Insanity Nordau is recognized by name and his arguments answered. The longest chapter is given to Wagner and a defence of the man and his work against the attacks of Nordau and Puschmann, although nothing is said of the savage assaults of Nietzsche. There is much in the latter chapters to comfort the disbelievers in the doctrines of a gradual retrogression and deterioration, generation by generation, of mankind, and the whole book is of value to the psychological student.
