Synopsis "The Decline of the West, Vol. Ii: Perspectives of World-History "

"The decline of the West, which at first sight may appear, like the corresponding decline of the Classical Culture, a phenomenon limited in time and space, we now perceive to be a philosophical problem that, when comprehended in all its gravity, includes within itself every great question of Being."If therefore we are to discover in what form the destiny of the Western Culture will be accomplished, we must first be clear as to what culture is, what its relations are to visible history, to life, to soul, to nature, to intellect, what the forms of its manifestation are and how far these forms - peoples, tongues and epochs, battles and ideas, states and gods, arts and craftworks, sciences, laws, economic types and world ideas, great men and great events - may be accepted and pointed to as symbols."

Oswald Spengler (Blankenburg, 1880 – Munich, 1936) earned his doctorate in 1904 at the University of Halle with a thesis on Heraclitus. He worked as a high school teacher until a small inheritance from his mother allowed him to move to Munich and dedicate himself to research. Exempt from military service due to health issues, Spengler did not directly participate in World War I, but the conflict significantly influenced his reflections on politics and history. The first volume of The Decline of the West, the work that catapulted the author to fame, was published in 1918 and the second volume in 1922.
