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