斯宾格勒原先只是一名普通的中学教师,20世纪二三十年代,他因《西方的没落》一书一举成名,挤身于二十世纪最有影响的历史学家之列。
Oswald Spengler was born in 1880 at Blankenburg, Germany. He studied mathematics, philosophy, and history at Munich and Berlin. Except for his doctor's thesis on Heraclitus, he published nothing before the first volume of The Decline of the West, which appeared when he was thirty-eight. The Agadir crisis of 1911 provided the immediate incentive for his exhaustive investigations of the background and origins of our civilization. He chose his main title in 1912, finished the first draft of "Form and Actuality" ("Gestalt und Wirklichkeit") two years later, and published the volume in 1918. The second, extensively revised edition, from which the present translation was made, appeared in 1923. The concluding volume, "Perspectives of World-History" ("Welthistorische Perspektiven"), was published in 1922. The Decline of the West was first published in this country in 1906 (Vol. I) and 1928 (Vol. II).
For many years Spengler lived quietly in his home in Munich. thinking, writing, and pursuing his hobbies - the collecting of pictures and primitive weapons, listening to Beethoven quartets, reading the comedies of Shakespeare and Moliere, and taking occasional trips to the Harz Mountains and to Italy. He died suddenly of a heart attack in Munich three weeks before his fifty-sixth birthday.

评分【按语:快速地阅读了一趟,斯宾格勒的思想很遥远古旧,有种巫师或先知道派头;就哲学维度而言,斯宾格勒的理论不算严谨,康德的某些学说(尤其时间和空间)被他铸改后拿来随便用了,深深借鉴了黑格尔但几乎回避提及黑格尔; 整个框架又有些尼采的权力意志和永恒轮回的色彩,但...
评分 评分《西方的没落》总算可以放下了,这本巨著通读两遍,历时近一年。这十年里好像没有另外一本书对自己的思想有更大的影响,回顾读书史,也只有我的哲学启蒙《悲剧的诞生》可以与之相提并论。 作为文化哲学,《西方的没落》格局宏大,斯宾格勒理解最深刻的自然是古典文化与西方文...
