Abstract: The article discusses some of the trends in the decline of art and science in capitalist society. The author focuses on these trends in the historical context, from the imitation of ancient models through the individualism of romanticism, realism, formalist experimentation, subjectivism, pessimism and the hopelessness of modernity, to the current exhaustion of „high culture”. It explores the course of natural sciences from the dismantling of the Ancient-Medieval idea of the world and the emergence of modern experimental methods up to the stagnation in the evolution of natural sciences and their limited development since the 1960s. The author believes that the culmination of conceptual and content degeneration of bourgeois art and science came as a result of their post-World War II geographical shift from European centres to the United States.
