Oswald Spengler is regarded as one of the founders of the comparatist approach to history, and yet in modern scholarship he is often reduced to the catchphrase ?decline of the West= and interpreted exclusively in the light of political developments in the Weimar Republic. David Engels has been attempting for many years to provide a more comprehensive picture of Spengler & as a historian and source of inspiration for Western cultural history and as a forecaster whose analyses and fears still have much to say to us today. This volume offers a revised selection from Engels=s previous studies on Spengler, which provide a varied and cohesive picture of the work, interpretation, and reception of this great cultural morphologist.
