| Summary: | The paper aims at considering significance of the category of time in the historical and political views of O. Spengler as a representative of “life philosophy” in historical and political thinking within the framework of postclassical understanding of time in the 20th century historiography. The author comes to conclusion that time is presented in Spengler’s works as fate, logic of history and myth, and acts as a kind of fatality in world history, devouring and dissolving cultures and humans completely. |
