The Falcon Reads | The Decline of the West Vol. I: Form and Actuality book review: It's All Downhill from Here @TH3F4LC0Nx | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
My review of the first volume of Oswald Spengler's controversial work of historical philosophy The Decline of the West, which introduced some novel theories regarding human societal development, and also made the ominous prophecy that the days of the West may be numbered. A likely contentious read in many ways perhaps, but also an undeniably unique and fascinating one as well.
