Der Spengler, Oswald 1880-1936 creator text utu 2025 monographic de 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Der Untergang des Abendlandes, Zweiter Band" by Oswald Spengler is the second volume of a philosophical work published in 1922. Subtitled "Perspectives of World History," it continues Spengler's radical theory that civilizations evolve like organisms through predictable life cycles. He argues that Western civilization has entered its "winter" phase—a period of decline following cultural flourishing. Rejecting linear historical progress, Spengler proposes that cultures rise, mature, and inevitably fall, with the West now approaching its sunset despite apparent power.
