2022 Reprint of VOLUME ONE of the 1926 Edition. Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This volume, subtitled Form and Actuality, comprises the first volume of Spengler's monumental treatise on the Decline of the West. The Decline of the West was very well received upon publication and was widely read by German intellectuals. It has been suggested that it intensified a sense of crisis in Germany following the end of World War I. The critic George Steiner has suggested that the work can be seen as one of several books that resulted from the crisis of German culture following Germany's defeat in World War I, comparable in this respect to the philosopher Ernst Bloch's The Spirit of Utopia (1918), the theologian Franz Rosenzweig's The Star of Redemption (1921), the theologian Karl Barth's The Epistle to the Romans (1922) and the philosopher Martin Heidegger's Being and Time (1927). Illustrated with three folding plates.
