In the Shadow of Spengler [EPUB ebook] 

This composite project by John O’Loughlin combines, within a revised structural framework, the dialogues of ‘A Question of Belief’ (1978) with the essays of ‘The Fall of Love’ (1979), to make a substantial volume of literary philosophy which attempts to take a balanced view, deriving from the author’s earlier excursion into dualistic philosophy, of a variety of weighty subjects, from literature and music to war and spirituality, under the shadow of Spenglerian historicism and environmental fatalism from out of which the author had yet to emerge.
