(ES) La sensación generalizada de un declive masivo en la calidad biológica de las poblaciones europeas se convirtió en un lugar común en la cultura de Fin de Siglo. Estos temores se articularon en gran medida a través del concepto psiquiátrico de degeneración. El lenguaje de la degeneración se asoció pronto a políticas represivas de carácter conservador. A pesar de ello, los anarquistas españoles consideraron que la degeneración era un hecho, aunque establecieron un diagnóstico y una terapia distinta. La decadencia biológica era causada por las condiciones ambientasles patógenas creadas por el capitalismo, siendo la única solución realista la revolución. Algunos de ellos no se limitaron a este argumento, postulando el retorno a la naturaleza, la adopción de una forma de vida higiénica, o la difusión de la reforma sexual y el neomalthusianismo.
(EN) The general impression of massive decline in the biological quality of European populations became a common place in Fin-de-Siecle culture. These fears were to a great extent articulated through the psychiatric concept of degeneration. The languaje of degeneration was early on associated with repressive policies of conservative character. In spite of this, Spanish anarchists considered degeneration to be a fact, althought establishing both a different diagnosis and treatment. Biological decadence was caused by the pathogenic environmental conditions created by capitalism, Revolution being the only realistic solution. Sorne of them did not limit themselves to this argument, postulating a retum to nature, the adoption of a hygienic life style, or the promotion of sexual reformed and New Malthusianism.
