Is Oswald Spengler accessible for an average illeterate pseud chud or do I have to read the Greeks, Kant and Hegel first?

>> No.21605939

unchud yourself. read women.

Start with the Greeks

If you want to be anything intellectual you should just do it. More books is good and you have time to read them

That will just make it worse since women are garbage writers.

>>21605931
Why is Spengler even associated with chuds nowadays anyway?

Just read it. You won't understand everything, but it'll be that way for every book worth reading.

build your own spengler associative digression generator

culture: sumerian, greek, persian, roman, italian, indian, chinese...
stage: classic, renaissance, baroque, elizabethan, rococo, romantic, impressionistic...
tech: sculpture, drama, polyphony, perspective, tragedy, pottery, navigation, architecture...

>i'm afraid i can only give a cursory outline of the formation and development of the collective socioeconomic mindset that is surely behind both sumerian cyclopean throat chants and natufian pointillistic masonry

What did he mean by this? He lost me at physics and mathematics.

cause he’s German but not the bolshevik forerunner or apologetic type.

The Anglo world still suffers from germanophobic sentiments which causes them to ignore good thinkers like Carl Schmitt just cause he was a le nazi

Stupid person alert!
There is no better way to word what he has said, so if you cannot understand that, there no point in thinking about the matter anymore.

>> No.21608927

>>21605931
He is a historian, not a philosopher. Also he doesn't mention Hegel even once.

>> No.21609193

>>21608927
yes he does lol
proves you didn’t read it. Typical /lit/ feeling the need to give its opinion on a work it hasn’t even read.

He just mentions Hegel deridingly.

Mathematics and Physics aren’t created, they’re discovered. The same across any culture.

>> No.21609344

>>21609327
Mathematics is a language, so it's created completely by humans, and with it we discover physics, something not created.

>> No.21609352

>>21609327
Correct, but what each Culture-Civilization CARES about, what they WANT to discover, that varies. Apollonian Man thought that geometry was super cool, Faustian Man is all about calculus. A Greek could totally understand calculus, they just wouldn't find it interesting.

Dumb cunt here,

Is Spengler a good read? Will it inspire me to greater virtue and deed?
