More about the book

Oswald Spengler critiques the technical age, asserting that the machine culture has peaked and foreshadows impending catastrophe for Western civilization. He argues that this era, driven by a desire for power and possession, lacks genuine cultural progress and instead fosters mass regimentation. Spengler's philosophy highlights the consequences of an over-reliance on technology, suggesting that it leads to the decline of individual creativity and ultimately threatens the very fabric of society.
