Oswald Spengler and the Politics of Decline

<p> Oswald Spengler was one of the most important thinkers of the Weimar Republic. In <em>Oswald Spengler and the Politics of Decline</em> Ben Lewis completely transforms our understanding of Spengler by showing how well-connected this philosopher was and how at every stage of his career he attempted to intervene politically in the very real-life events unfolding around him. The volume explains Spengler's politics as the outcome of a dynamic interplay between his meta-historical considerations on world history on the one hand and the practical demands and considerations of Realpolitik on the other hand.</p>
