About Oswald Spengler
Oswald Spengler (1880-1936) was a German philosopher and historian best known for his work "The Decline of the West," published in two volumes between 1918 and 1922. In this seminal work, Spengler proposed a cyclical theory of history, suggesting that civilizations pass through a life cycle of growth, maturity, and decay, akin to biological organisms. His ideas had a profound impact on 20th-century thought, influencing fields ranging from sociology to cultural studies, while also sparking controversy for their deterministic view of historical processes.
