<p>Houston Stewart Chamberlain was born in <a href="Southsea" title="Southsea">Southsea</a>, Hampshire, England, the son of <a href="Rear_Admiral_(Royal_Navy)" class="mw-redirect" title="Rear Admiral (Royal Navy)">Rear Admiral</a> <a href="William_Charles_Chamberlain" title="William Charles Chamberlain">William Charles Chamberlain</a>. His mother, Eliza Jane, daughter of <a href="Captain_(Royal_Navy)" title="Captain (Royal Navy)">Captain</a> <a href="Basil_Hall_(naval_officer)" title="Basil Hall (naval officer)">Basil Hall</a>, died before he was a year old, leading to his being brought up by his grandmother in France. His elder brother was professor <a href="Basil_Hall_Chamberlain" title="Basil Hall Chamberlain">Basil Hall Chamberlain</a>. Chamberlain's poor health frequently led him to being sent to the warmer climates of Spain and Italy for the winter. This constant moving about made it hard for Chamberlain to form lasting friendships.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cheltenham_College">Cheltenham College</h3></div>
<p>Chamberlain's education began at a <i><a href="Lyc%C3%A9e" class="mw-redirect" title="Lycée">lycée</a></i> in <a href="Versailles_(city)" class="mw-redirect" title="Versailles (city)">Versailles</a> and continued mostly in continental Europe, but his father had planned a military career for his son.

</p><p>Chamberlain grew up in a self-confident, optimistic, Victorian atmosphere that celebrated the nineteenth century as the "<a href="Belle_%C3%89poque" title="Belle Époque">Age of Progress</a>", a world that many Victorians expected to get progressively better with Britain leading the way for the rest of the world.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEField198120–21_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEField198120–21-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He was supportive of the <a href="Liberal_Party_(United_Kingdom)" class="mw-redirect" title="Liberal Party (United Kingdom)">Liberal Party</a>, and shared the general values of 19th-century British <a href="Liberalism" title="Liberalism">liberalism</a> such as a faith in progress, of a world that could only get better, of the greatness of Britain as a liberal democratic and capitalist society.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEField198123,_27_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEField198123,_27-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
Chamberlain's major interests in his studies at Cheltenham were the natural sciences, especially astronomy.<sup id="cite_ref-Field,_Geoffrey_page_24_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Field,_Geoffrey_page_24-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Chamberlain later recalled: "The stars seemed closer to me, more gentle, more worthy of trust, and more sympathetic – for that is the only word which describes my feelings – than any of the people around me in school.

</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Embracing_conservativism">Embracing conservativism</h3></div>
<p>During his youth, Chamberlain – while not entirely rejecting at this point his liberalism – became influenced by the romantic conservative critique of the <a href="Industrial_Revolution" title="Industrial Revolution">Industrial Revolution</a>. Bemoaning the loss of <a href="Merry_England" title="Merry England">"Merry Old England"</a>, this view argued for a return to a highly romanticized period of English history, with the people living happily in harmony with nature on the land overseen by a benevolent, cultured elite.<sup id="cite_ref-Mosse,_George_L_1968_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mosse,_George_L_1968-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In this critique, the Industrial Revolution was seen as a disaster which forced people to live in dirty, overcrowded cities, doing dehumanizing work in factories while society was dominated by a philistine, greedy middle class.<sup id="cite_ref-Mosse,_George_L_1968_7-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mosse,_George_L_1968-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The prospect of serving as an officer in <a href="British_India" class="mw-redirect" title="British India">India</a> or elsewhere in the <a href="British_Empire" title="British Empire">British Empire</a> held no attraction for him. In addition, he was a delicate child with poor health. At the age of fourteen he had to be withdrawn from school. After Cheltenham, Chamberlain always felt out of place in Britain, a society whose values Chamberlain felt were not his values, writing in 1876: "The fact may be regrettable but it remains a fact; I have become so completely un-English that the mere thought of England and the English makes me unhappy".<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEField198132_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEField198132-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Chamberlain travelled to various <a href="Destination_spa" title="Destination spa">spas</a> around Europe, accompanied by a <a href="Prussia" title="Prussia">Prussian</a> tutor, Mr Otto Kuntze, who taught him German and interested him in <a href="Culture_of_Germany" title="Culture of Germany">German culture</a> and <a href="History_of_Germany" title="History of Germany">history</a>.

During his time in Geneva, Chamberlain, who always despised <a href="Benjamin_Disraeli" title="Benjamin Disraeli">Benjamin Disraeli</a>, came to hate his country more and more, accusing the Prime Minister of taking British life down to what Chamberlain considered to be his extremely low level.<sup id="cite_ref-Field,_Geoffrey_page_353_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Field,_Geoffrey_page_353-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> During the early 1880s, Chamberlain was still a Liberal, "a man who approached issues from a firmly <a href="Gladstonian_liberalism" title="Gladstonian liberalism">Gladstonian</a> perspective and showed a marked antipathy to the philosophy and policies of British Conservatism".<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEField198178_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEField198178-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Chamberlain often expressed his disgust with Disraeli, "the man whom he blamed in large measure for the injection of selfish class interest and <a href="Jingoism" title="Jingoism">jingoism</a> into British public life in the next decades".<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEField198180_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEField198180-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>An early sign of his anti-Semitism came in 1881 when he described the landlords in Ireland affected by the Land Bill as "blood-sucking Jews" (<i>sic</i>).

<p>In Geneva, Chamberlain continued working towards a doctorate in <a href="Botany" title="Botany">botany</a>, but he later abandoned that project due to ill health. The text of what would have been Chamberlain's doctoral dissertation was published in 1897 as <i>Recherches sur la sève ascendante</i> ("Studies on rising <a href="Sap" title="Sap">sap</a>"),<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEChamberlain1897_18-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEChamberlain1897-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but this publication did not culminate in any further academic qualifications.<sup id="cite_ref-Powell_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Powell-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Chamberlain's book was based on his own experimental observations of water transport in various <a href="Vascular_plants" class="mw-redirect" title="Vascular plants">vascular plants</a>. Against the conclusions of <a href="Eduard_Strasburger" title="Eduard Strasburger">Eduard Strasburger</a>, <a href="Julius_von_Sachs" title="Julius von Sachs">Julius von Sachs</a>, and other leading botanists, he argued that his observations could not be explained by the application of the <a href="Fluid_mechanics" title="Fluid mechanics">fluid mechanical</a> theories of the day to the motion of water in the plants' <a href="Xylem" title="Xylem">xylem</a> conduits. Instead, he claimed that his results evidenced other processes, associated with the action of living matter and which he placed under the heading of a <i>force vitale</i> ("<a href="%C3%89lan_vital" title="Élan vital">vital force</a>").

<blockquote><p>If we do not soon pay attention to Schiller's thought regarding the transformation from the state of Need into the Aesthetic State, then our condition will degenerate into a boundless chaos of empty talk and arms foundries.

Hitler told the ailing Chamberlain he was working on <a href="Mein_Kampf" title="Mein Kampf">his own book</a> which, he intended, should do for Weimar-era Germany what Chamberlain's book had done for <a href="German_Empire" title="German Empire">Imperial Germany</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-233" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-233"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>232<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Beyond the Kaiser and the NSDAP, assessments were mixed. The French Germanic scholar <a href="Edmond_Vermeil" title="Edmond Vermeil">Edmond Vermeil</a> considered Chamberlain's ideas "essentially shoddy", but the anti-Nazi German author <a href="Konrad_Heiden" title="Konrad Heiden">Konrad Heiden</a>, despite objections to Chamberlain's racial ideas, described him as "one of the most astonishing talents in the history of the German mind, a mine of knowledge and profound ideas".<sup id="cite_ref-234" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-234"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>233<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In a 1939 work <a href="Martin_Heidegger" title="Martin Heidegger">Martin Heidegger</a> (himself a former Nazi) dismissed Chamberlain's work as presenting a subjective, individualistic <span title="German-language text"><i lang="de">Weltanschauung</i></span> (fabricated worldview).<sup id="cite_ref-235" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-235"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>234<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
