Sinopsis

Oswald Spengler, in the aftermath of the Great War, gained international repute as a philosopher-historian whose apparently doom-laden forecast on the eclipse of Western Civilisation, The Decline of The West, struck a chord amidst a period of moral, cultural, social and economic decay, around which swirled increasingly violent forces of Left and Right. Yet if recalled at all today it is as a failed prophet, whose &ldquo,decline of the West&rdquo, did not eventuate, and whose forecast of an &ldquo,age of Caesars&rdquo, was promptly crushed by the technical power of the plutocratic states combined with the masses of the Red Army over-running Europe.áThe optimism of Liberalism from the pre-1914 era was revived in the post-1945 era with the defeat of the Axis, and impelled ever-more with the recent implosion of the Soviet bloc to the extent that Liberal academics predict, to use Dr. Francis Fukuyama&rsquo,s term, &ldquo,the end of history,&rdquo, where humanity has reached the epitome of progress in a world hegemony of capitalist economics and political democracy. However, a deeper perception shows the West is in a terminal state, despite outward appearances of seeming &ldquo,health&rdquo, that require an increasingly glossed appearance to hide the sickness.In this collection of essays, lectures and articles, some rendered in English probably for the first time, Spengler is shown as a key figure in the so-called &ldquo,German Conservative Revolution&rdquo,, who energetically promoted his views to a wide public, with particular appeals to youth. He counselled against the unthinking fanaticism of mass movements, and advised that the times required careful deliberation by a new leadership stratum that was up to great tasks.áá
