  Arthur de Gobineau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Arthur Comte de Gobineau (July 14, 1816 — October 13, 1882) was a French aristocrat who became famous for advocating White Supremacy and developing the racialist theory of the Aryan master race in his book An Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races (1853-1855).
Gobineau believed himself to be the descendant of Nordic Vikings and Condottieri.
Gobineau, among early anthropologists, was not alone in his belief in racial superiority.

 Comte Joseph De Gobineau - Trois ans en Asie (Three years in Asia) 1855-1858
Scion of an aristocratic family, writer, diplomat, historian and racial theorist, Comte Joseph Arthur de Gobineau was born on July 14, 1816 at Ville d'Avray, a suburb of Paris.
Gobineau’s close observation, and intimacy with, the Zartoshty community of Yazd is revealed by his recounting that one of the big debates going on in that community was on consumption of meat in their daily diet, with some expressing strong views against it, while others favouring it.
Gobineau relates: One of his Zartoshty friends (wearing the yellow coloured outfit the Zartoshties were forced to wear for easy identification) was passing through a shabby and desolate alley in the city of Isfahan, when he heard a strange noise directed at him.

 An Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races (1853-1855) by Joseph Arthur Comte de Gobineau is a milestone of "scientific racism" (also called "racialism") and White supremacy, and is generally considered to be the first formulation of "biological racism", in contrast to Boulainvilliers' theory of races.
De Gobineau's ideas found a new interest at the end of the nineteenth century in German speaking areas and elsewhere, becoming the canon of racist theories, such as the one exposited by H.S. Chamberlain, a British citizen who naturalized himself as a German because of his admiration for the Germanic "race".

Joseph Arthur Comte de Gobineau (July 14, 1816 - October 13, 1882) was a French aristocrat who became famous for advocating White Supremacy and developing the racialist theory of the "Aryan master race" in his book An Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races (1853-1855).
Gobineau's tripartite division of human populations corresponds to the categories of "Negroid" {fl}, "Caucasoid" {white excluding the Indian Subcontinent, Eastern Europe, North Africa, Spain and the Middle East), and "Mongoloid" {yellow}.
Gobineau also considered Nordic peoples to be the "purest" and fairest whites, and so to be superior to other Caucasians, laying the foundations for the "Nordic theory".

 OmniNerd - Comment: Reply to some perspective on Hitler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Gobineau, who could not admit that fls, asians and jews came from a common ancestry, compartmentalized his thinking to such a degree that he lived in intellectual contradiction for a significant portion of his adult life.
When pressed by concerned Christians Gobineau would vacillate or demure the point, but in the final summation Gobineau decided that he must 'leave Christianity absolutely out of the present question.' That question, of course, was the one concerning the matter of justice between races.
Gobineau, as Cassierer so aptly notes, drew 'a sharp distinction between metaphysical truth and the cultural value of Christianity.' In essence, Gobineau was willing to admit to the societal and cultural worth of the moral norms imposed by a Christian worldview, but would never admit that Christianity had any claim on absolute truth.

 Ghosts of Bell Curves Past   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Gobineau’s basic position can be easily summarized: the fate of civilizations is largely determined by racial composition, with decline and fall usually attributable to dilution of pure stocks by interbreeding.
Gobineau wished to separate individual and group judgment because he didn’t want the “reality” of group differences blurred by the uncharacteristic performance of rare individuals.
Gobineau, seeking his mathematical basis for group differences in intelligence and morality, was stuck with the crude and direct measures of nineteenth-century racist science—mainly shapes and sizes of skulls and other body parts (for no supposedly “direct” assessment by mental testing had yet been developed).

 The Zend-Avesta
The development of aryanism as a theory of racial superiority is ascribed to Joseph Arthur, comte de Gobineau [Graf von Gobineau] (1816/07/14 - 1882/10/13), who argued the superiority of the nordic races in his work Essai sur l'inégalité des races humaines (1853), using skull size as the basis of his argument that whites were superior.
A proponant of Gobineau’s theories was Houston Stewart Chamberlain (1855/09/09 - 1927/01/09) whose Die Grundlagen des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts (1899) promoted the superiority of the germanic race.
Gobineau’s works are not found in Albert Pike’s library—or that part of it that has survived—and Chamberlain didn't publish until after Pike’s death so there is nothing to suggest that Pike was aware of, much less promoted, their theories.

 Baha'u'llah - Notes
For an account of these events see God Passes By, chapters I-V. Western interest in the Bábí movement was aroused, particularly, by the publication in 1865 of Joseph Arthur Comte de Gobineau's Les religions et les philosophies dans l'Asie centrale (Paris: Didier, 1865).
It was no doubt this combination of sympathy and interest which led the Ottoman government to invite Bahá'u'lláh to the capital rather than send Him to a more remote center or deliver Him to the Persian authorities, as the latter were urging.
