Well, I am late in posting this, as things got a bit hectic this weekend and I failed to ready myself for that by getting this done sooner. This brings me to 2 late posts for the year, I think, out of the five I'll allow myself and still say I've met my boast. At any rate, here's what I think will be the last in my series of posts on Spengler, which pulls together a grab bag of sayings, thoughts, and links to other things I've read. You can read it here.

I think this will be the second-to-last post on The Decline of the West, at least for now. The next one will be a "grab bag" of quotes and thoughts that didn't quite rise to the level of "I should do a full post about this."

As always, I appreciate your thoughts and if there's anything I'm missing or that you'd like to see more of.

We've gotten past the really big thoughts from Decline of the West, but there's still some interesting stuff to go through. This time, we talk about Time, Destiny, Space, and Motion.

I've gotten to one of the juicier bits of Decline of the West - the "Soul Image" that defines different Great Cultures. Here's the post.

Here we are with part two in my series of posts on understanding what to take from Oswald Spengler's The Decline of the West. This post is on maybe the key thought from the books - that Cultures/Civilizations are best thought of as organisms with their own lifecycle.

I've started a (hopeful) series on some of the big ideas in Oswald Spengler's Decline of the West, which is first and foremost a way for me to settle what I've learned from the book, but will hopefully also be helpful to some other folks.

You can find the post here.
