Spengler's civilization model
- Spengler's civilization model
This is a diagram of Oswald Spengler's civilization model, adapted with the help of machine translation from the German version of this Wikipedia article. It appears as three tables, each in a three-page long folded sheet, inserted between pages 68 and 69 of the first volume of his "Der Untergand des Abendlandes", in the definitive edition published under the author's care by C. H. Beck in Munich, in 1931. Page numbers slightly changed from the previous German editions, yet were always placed immediately after the end of the "Introduction". Placement is the same in the Spanish translation by philosopher Manuel García Morente with prologue by José Ortega y Gasset (Espasa-Calpe, Madrid, 1936). In contrast, the English traduction published by Alfred A. Knopf in New York in 1936 as "The decline of the West", vol. 1, carries these tables at the end of the volume (after page 444). For their meaning and significance, see the main article.
