His work The Decline of the West argues that the development of civilizations follows a recognizable cyclical pattern. Born Oswald Arnold Gottfried Spengler at Blankenburg am Harz. Spengler has, amongst others, influenced Georg Henrik von Wright in his writing about our society. Spengler was a pivotal influence on Francis Parker Yockey, who wrote Imperium as a sequel to The Decline of the West. Yockey called Spengler "The Philosopher of the Twentieth Century." Some also argue that he was a major influence on Samuel P. Huntington's controversial Clash of civilizations theory. In Germany the direction of his works is doubted today since it was also popular with supporters of national socialism.
