Man and Technics: A Contribution to a Philosophy of Life by Oswald Spengler

Man and Technics is an ideal introduction to Oswald Spengler’s philosophy of history and culture. In it, he condenses the essentials of his sprawling, 1,000+ page magnum opus The Decline of the West and places it in the broadest possible an account of man’s origins in prehistory and his speculations about man’s destiny. Spengler paints a bleak portrait of the future of European man, whose “Faustian” striving for the infinite has given rise to a global technological civilization that has taken on a life of its own, breaking down both natural and historical orders and releasing titanic energies that threaten to destroy nature and higher man alike.
