Is it really worth-while position? Tell me something about it and recommend me one more book by Spengler.

Get the unabridged version if possible. It’s available as an ebook but idk about physically. You’ll know it’s the right one if it’s in two volumes.

Start from pg. 27 in the PDF

No, it's one of the first ridiculous 20th century multicultural narratives that tried to relativize the West.

Arktos is working on translating the unabridged version ATM. Probably will be available within the next couple months. Their translation of Man and Technics was pretty good, so I'm looking forward to having a physical copy of the unabridged, as right now I've only read the abridged Oxford edition.

I got the abridged version. What am I missing?

I feel that I dont fully understand what he means by prime symbol, and it being the "depth dimension" of a culture. Am I just retarded, or will it become clearer as I continue reading the book?

Yes, it's severely underrated. It's a philosophical work, though.
