Is there a good secondary literature for Spengler's "The Decline of the West"?
>>24115600Imperium
Adorno wrote a pretty good essay on it.
I thought Prophets of Doom was a neat introduction to theories of history like it
>>24116106Unsurprisingly written by a really stupid neoreactionary, probably has some value for understanding a right wing perspective but I wouldn't give this guy a penny.
>>24117270>Opens a thread about a reactionary writer>Wtf why are people discussing him neoreactionaries? I would never be that stupid
>>24115680https://archive.org/details/studies-in-philosophy-and-social-science_1941_9_2/>"How does everything that is to be appear so ill" (“Wie scheint doch alles Werdende so krank” )—this sentence of the poet Georg Trakl transcends Spengler’s landscape. Goddamn
>>24115600Decline from what? What did this guy deem as the peak of the West?
>>24117760This

>>24115600yes, this gentleman.
>>24118039https://www.schmidtsche-vbh.de/ansehen_kui.htmlhttps://www.schmidtsche-vbh.de/ansehen_migii.htmlThe second book is not the scope of what I want. In the first book, does the author tell us what the Goethean morphology is, how can be applied on history, or how is methodology of illustration defined? or does he just illustrate the current historical process with spenglerian manner without telling us what their methodology are?
>>24117270Ok? It’s not like you have to spend money for books in this day and age you boomer
