Spengler, without a doubt, comprehended the cycle, even if, as has already been said, his pluralistic picture is not ultimately satisfactory. It was therefore to be expected that there would be no shortage of attempts to restore the unity of world history through thinking. Historiography could not achieve this by its own means, and never has been able to. To do so, it must find an Archimedean point located outside the historical world, be it theological, metaphysical, or material.

We can only agree with the morphological picture, which recurs in our age, with reservation – insofar as, if it is a recurrence, the span of historical cycles is too short and our historical experience insufficient to allow us to recognise it.
