Features: Spengler, an important representation of the modern German spirit, combines Goethe's observational methods with Nietzsche's critical spirit. From a grand comparative morphology of culture, he predicts the decline of Western culture by describing its spiritual logic and symptomatic signs of the era. Since then, this eschatological tone has become like an original wound, deeply imprinted in the course of Western history since the 20th century. Its prophetic voice still evokes a passion for self-reflection in the era we inhabit today.
