Post bookstack. You wont. Curious.
>>
>>25198887
Why won't I?
>>
>>25198903
You dont own books but if you did you have not read most of them and probably have not even actually read the book you are posting about.
>>
>>25198875
Yes
>>
>>25198912
Oh okay I thought this was some strange attempt to discern my personality from my bookshelf and then call me Jewish or a pedophile or something just because I have a couple books on the history of Israel and the Jewish people.
>>
>>25198926
I already discerned your personality
>>
>>25198928
Can I have my tarot reading then?

You wont have sex with a woman today acording to uranus
>>
>>25198936
I have never had sex with a woman before. I have never kissed or held hands with a woman either.
>>
>>25198940
And yet you will continue to do the same shit with the same results (nothing) and continue to cry. What a life. Couldnt be me.
>>
>>25198946
Where did I cry?

My jew marxist intellectual friend from old country considers Spengler "frivolous and dispensable," but upon further questioning said that he believes Martin Heidegger has "salient points," so make of that what you will. As for myself, I have only studied Heidegger.

>look at the state of the Europe and North America
yeah, we are going to watch the Fall of Rome in 4k, but i wonder if the fall of Rome was more funny and retarded than us, but i doubt it

Well even today his analysis holds up reasonably well, so I'd he was at least onto something if nothing else. And yes I am aware he was torn apart by experts well during his life time but that happens to literally any work of philosophy that does anything other than waffle about theory.
That said his philosophy does posit some somewhat uncomfortable implications at that times with the "All is culture" assertion.
>>25198958
According to Spengler we are a good four centuries from that happening.
>>
>>25198875
No thoughts as of yet. Have his book in original German. Currently reading Imperium by Yockey, which is essentially a sequel. Lot of it is repurposed from other philosophers and writers but as he said ‘Originality is decadence’
>>
World War I destroyed the European belief in the Whig interpretation of history as the continual improvement of mankind. Spengler was one of many who despaired. Was he right? European intellectuals point to America as proof that he was.
>>
>>25198875
Even adorno had to admit he was much closer to being right than almost all of his comtempoaries
>>
>>25198946
What’s with this bitter projection? Stop being an embarrassing faggot please

>>25199278
Well you are basically dealing with two different beasts at that point. As much as the two are obviously connected.
>>
>>25199278
>Imperium by Yockey
is it any good or just neo nazi slop
>>
>>25198948
In the telephone booth, quarter-less, and with no one to call.
>>
>>25199830
The interpretation of history as an eternal ladder of progress is as healthy as ever, though.
>>
>>25199278
Yockey is an example of someone who struggled with feelings of personal inferiority and put words to it. Not someone I would want to emulate.
>>
>>25201071
Very true despite the fact that the world, and particularly the United States, have been at war continuously ever since the Great War supposedly ended.
>>
>>25202266
Once upon a time war was seen as a natural and healthy part of history. And, in fairness, things have generally been getting better in some ways. And worse in others.

>>25202803
