It philosophically has to do with the idea the world was created by a "commandment". For example, Klages claims the Abrahamic/Mazdan notion that the world was created from a "commandment" is "logocentric", for it treats life as existing in a state of sin and in need of being renovated or "perfected"; the logocentrism inherent in spirit fundamentally weakens and erodes the soul, as evidenced by "rhetoric of progress" leading to the destruction of primeval forests and biodiversity, mass migration and miscegenation, loss of communal ways of life and traditions, and estrangement from nature as a result of a "purpose" in rectifying the "the fall".
There was no need to "fix" life. It was already perfect the way it is.
Secular liberalism and scientism were both outgrowths of Abrahamic and Mazdan progressive eschatology/soteriology.

He prefers the hylozoism of the pre-socratics and dislikes the Socrates' obsession with reason. The idea that "reason" can be used to improve the world is likewise logocentric.
Not a single positive thing has come from any rational/conceptual thought or notions of progress. The idea that the discursive mind can be used for positive is delusional. Check here for more reviews on Klages:

In this thread, I wanted to mainly focus on how the notion of "progress" is at the root of most modern delusions. There is no such thing as "progress".
