Oswald Spengler on Method - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 121 Method/Political Theory/Spengler: Spengler describes his philosophy of politics as "physiognomy", which he contrasts with the strictly scientific, causal and rationally arguing "systematics" (1) as equally important, just as he complements the principle of "causality" with an "idea of fate" (2), he completes the "law" with "form" (3). For only those who, according to Spengler, have a "physiognomic rhythm" (4) - a special form of historical empathy - are able to gain knowledge through the application of intuition. ((s) Here Spengler is again influenced by Nietzsche. See also H. Pfotenhauer 1985(5).) Political Philosophy/Spengler see >Politics/Spengler. 1. Oswald Spengler, Der Untergang des Abendlandes.
