Oswald Spengler, a German polymath, was renowned for his contributions in history, philosophy, mathematics, science, and art. In his work “The Decline of the West,” he introduced an organic theory of history suggesting that cultures and civilizations follow predetermined life cycles. Spengler foresaw the decline of Western civilization, anticipating a phase of crisis before its eventual decline and the rise of authoritarian rule. A critic of republicanism, he played a significant role in the Weimar-era Conservative Revolution. While initially supported by the Nazis, Spengler distanced himself from them later due to their racial beliefs.
