TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Oswald Spengler and the Incommensurability of Civilizations
It is the 144th anniversary of the birth of Oswald Spengler (29 May 1880 – 08 May 1936), who was born in Blankenburg, Germany, on this date in 1880.
Spengler’s The Decline of the West was a sensation in its time, making Spengler briefly famous with the public, and notorious among historians and philosophers, who largely rejected his work. While Spengler’s fortunes have risen and fallen over time, he remains among the most influential philosophers of history, rivaled only by Toynbee in terms of his popular impact.
