Plan for The Oswald Spengler Project

What to expect from this substack

Yes hello

I am inaugurating a long series of posts that will follow the collected works of Oswald Spengler.

My plan is threefold.

1. Notes on the entirety of Spengler’s published work

2. Essays on historical, cultural, and philosophical matters (in the vein of Spengler of course)

3. Translations of Spengler’s untranslated works

For now, I am mostly going to focus on parts 1 and 2.

Regarding the notes, I am planning to go in the following order:

1. Decline of the West

2. Man and Technics

3. Prussianism and Socialism

4. Other Political Writings

5. Other Writings

6. Years of Decision

Intermittently, I will be publishing essays here. Topics will include comparing Spengler and Hegel, Spengler’s choice of method, Spengler’s political ideology vis-à-vis 1930s German politics… and many more topics. But the bulk of the work should be these notes. I hope that these notes and essays will help those of you working your way through the corpus who are in need of some guidance and explanation.

Once I have exhausted Spengler’s translated corpus, I will begin publishing my translations of his untranslated works (mostly his work on metaphysics and his inquiries into prehistory).

Stay tuned for more and plz sub.
