order to make themselves truly comprehensive a picture of Spencer, I just do not get past the literature on Spengler. With the end of the book "Oswald Spengler" by Frank Lission the first step is done. Especially since I just by this book to other secondary sources have become aware. Unfortunately I had to search a brief notice that most of the specified works is no longer available, nor in the foreseeable future, new editions are published. (Explicit works by Koktanek) Similarly, the writings of Spengler himself, as so aptly remarked Frank Wesson and equal mitliefert an explanation:
"For a perhaps not insignificant reason other than the demise of the West has long no writings Spengler's more to be laid, is certainly contemptuous of those radical train of his texts, the reading for some today, in times of gentle disposition prescribed harmony, as "dangerous" or at least as a "highly politically problematic "can appear." (page 131)
But at least on this point has in the past 3 years, in part, been a great change and my small collection of books is now next to the " destruction of the West "by new editions of" The People and Technology "and" Years of Decision enriched. " However, it is me so far not succeeded to the last two books, a small review to write - so I should catch up soon as possible. Unfortunately, I must admit that I have Spengler's famous work still not read. I myself do not know what keeps me from probably fail to fear about the quality and quantity of the work.
