The Decline of Europe (set of 2 volumes)
The book "The Decline of Europe" is the main and most famous work of Oswald Spengler - a German thinker who predicted the unification of Europe back in 1923, categorically refusing to recognize the West as the center of world...
history, and moreover, denying the very concept of a unified human history. Spengler proposed a concept of types of human culture that, like living organisms, undergo certain phases of development and ultimately die, transforming into a barren mechanical civilization. The researcher identified eight main cultures - Egyptian, Indian, Babylonian, Chinese, "Apollonian" (Greco-Roman), "Magical" (Byzantine-Arab), "Faustian" (Western European), and Maya culture - and predicted the emergence of Russian-Siberian culture. According to the author, the transition of Western culture into civilization began in 1800, which should culminate, according to O. Spengler, by 2000.
The book "The Decline of Europe" is a captivating read for anyone who loves a fresh perspective on seemingly well-known subjects.
