BORN in Blankenburg, close to the Harz Mountains, Oswald Spengler (1880-1936) was a leading German philosopher and one of the foremost luminaries of the Conservative Revolution. His masterpiece, The Decline of the West, was published in two volumes between 1918 and 1923. The work itself – partly inspired by Goethe and Nietzsche – postulated the idea that cultures and civilisations are cyclical and rise and fall like biological organisms. The text was a dagger thrust at the erroneous heart of the progressivist notion that history is purely linear and that Western civilisation is somehow immune to the indomitable march of time. Spengler’s other books include Prussianism and Socialism (1920), Man and Technics (1931) and The Hour of Decision (1933). In the present work, first published in 2012, our team of writers examines some of the key themes in Spenglerian thought in light of the events that have shaped world history ever since. These topics include Spengler’s ideas on technology, Russia, economics, Caesarism, eugenics, Weimar, culture and Socialism. Regardless what one makes of his controversial views and opinions, this book will provide readers with a unique and valuable insight into Spengler’s work.

Chapters include Spengler: A Philosopher For All Seasons; Russia: Bulwark Against Decline; Spengler and German Socialism: The Weimar Period Reconsidered; Spengler and Russia; The Numinous Genesis of Culture; Egalitarian Eugenics in the Age of Caesarism; Oswald Spengler & Brooks Adams: and The Economics of Cultural Decline.

The contributors include Troy Southgate (Editor), K.R. Bolton, Alex Kurtagic, Dimitris Michalopoulos, Christopher Pankhurst and John Howells.
