Book: Faust's Dying Thoughts



What we are experiencing now should finally lead us out of our closed existence. Even though we are now being thrown even more to the East, at the end of this process we will cease to be an isolated East. Whatever happens to us, we must inevitably go out into the world. Russia is a mediator between East and West. In it, two streams of world history collide, eastern and western. There is a secret hidden in Russia that we ourselves cannot fully solve. But this mystery is connected with the resolution of some theme of world history. Our hour has not yet come. It will be associated with the crisis of European culture. And therefore, such books as Spengler's book cannot but excite us. Such books are closer to us than to European people. This is our style book.
Quote Explanation: The quote is taken from the book "Oswald Spengler and the Decline of Europe" There are several authors in the book. This is Nikolai Alexandrovich Berdyaev - Y. M. Bukshpan - Semyon Ludvigovich Frank - Fedor Avgustovich Stepun The main task of the collection is to introduce the reader to the world of Spengler's ideas. A more systematic state of these ideas is devoted to the article by F. A. Stepun. But the rest of the authors, sharing their impressions of the book and thoughts about Spengler, tried to reproduce the objective content of his ideas as far as possible. Thus, according to the assignment of the collection, the reader of the four reviews should get a fairly complete picture of this undoubtedly outstanding book that made up a cultural event in Germany.
