Oswald Spengler's Decline of the West
---------------------------------------
In the wake of defeat in World War I, Germans thought the world was going to hell. So did the German Oswald Spengler, and he believed that other historians were not describing it adequately. History as it was being written by others, he complained, was just facts, and this was symptomatic of the withering spirit that was bringing about decline -- a decline in culture and the human spirit.
I dislike Spengler's ideas and describe these in my Inside a Few Heads section.
