So we all know Spengler, Sorel and the likes who were going on and on about decadence and decline at the beginning of the 20th century.

What are some philosophers who saw this decadence as something to embrace rather than something that has to be fought? Only De Sade comes to my mind.

People who embrace the modernity's decadence are/were aesthetes. Like the main character in Huysman's Against the Grain. Or Oscar Wilde. Though Huysman eventually became a Catholic.
