Definición

  • A pessimistic book translated into many languages, The Decline of the West was a two-volume essay published by German philosopher Oswald Spengler between 1918 and 1922, though the first chapters (“Form and Actuality,” or “Gestalt und Wirklichkeit”) in the first volume were certainly written around 1906. The second volume, Perspectives of World-History (Welthistorische Perspektiven), was written only after the end of World War I (1914–1918).
