520 |a This article discusses developments in eugenic thinking which animated Hungarian scientific community before the First World War. One case in particular is relevant in this context: the 1911 debate on racial improvement and heredity. The debate marked a major turning point in the evolution of eugenics and the emergence of racial scientism in Hungary. Both discourses were formulated as totalising responses to a number of scientific topics, like heredity, but also to practical social and medical problems such as degeneration, sterilisation and marriage counselling. The debate thus has a double significance: on the one hand, it gave supporters of eugenics in Hungary the necessary opportunity to articulate common programmes of hygiene and racial hygiene; whilst on the other, it introduced a scientific ethos into the general discussion on social and political transformation that characterised Hungarian political thinking in early twentieth century.
