  • Analysis Of Oswald Spengler

    2280 Words  | 5 Pages

    Oswald Spengler (29 May 1880 – 8 May 1936) is a pessimistic German historian and philosopher, who equals or surpass Nietzsche in his own time. He propounded a new perspective for evolving cultures as a whole to explain the history of the world, which then challenged the contemporary idea of linear history. Generally, the philosophy of linear history is really a powerful assumption for people and this is very much influenced by Christianity in a way and still survived in post-Christian West. There is this common perception that we are the next step in history and this history leads to greater freedom by means of liberation, understanding, and technology. Although it is true that there are bad events throughout the journey, however that just like speed bumps to the Utopia. For example, the standpoint of technology apparently seems true to this perception, which is from medicine to automobile and communication; they all are slowly paved toward perfection. In Spengler’s cosmology of history, human cultures and civilizations very much like mythology of plant life, where they grow and dies. Great culture also can come into an end, decaying.
