Major though controversial philosophy of universal history • • • • • (bewertet mit 5 von 5 Punkten) Spengler's two volumes, originally published in 1918 (with revised edition in 1923, vol.1) and 1922 (vol. 2), rank as a major, though controversial philosophy of universal history. The present edition has a new typesetting and a critical essay by Thomas Zwenger (vol. 2, pp. 677-727). The work still invites comment, and it must be said that its major chapter on religion misleadingly entitled "Problems of Arabian Culture" awaits critical evaluation even more than eighty years alter its original publication. It is based on Spengler's distinction between "Faustfan" and "magical" culture, with Islam, the final Synthesis of all Semitic religions, representing the realm of magic. Hopefully, this new edition will inspire scholars to take another look at what used to be a bestselling title during the author's lifetime (d. 1936). The editor and publisher are to be thanked for making the book available. Eine Rezension von dani_california > vom 20. März 2008 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
