Sinopsis

2020 Reprint of the 1932 Edition. áMan and Technics: A Contribution to a Philosophy of Life is a short book by Oswald Spengler, in which the author presents a harsh critique of technology and industrialism, especially in Western Society during SpenglerâÇÖs era. áThe principal idea in the work is that many of the Western worldâÇÖs great achievements may soon become spectacles for our descendants to marvel at, as we do with the pyramids of Egypt or the baths of Rome. In SpenglerâÇÖs view, western culture will be destroyed from within by materialism, and destroyed by others through economic competition and warfare.áSpenglerâÇÖs views are very controversial and many of his conclusions might seem extreme to a modern reader.áNevertheless, he continues to be read to this day and remains an important, if extreme, critic of modern 'progress.'
