Spengler in postmoderna - klavrn iztek razsvetljenskih idej

Buljubašić, Muhamed (author), Komel, Dean (mentor)

V nalogi poskušam osvetliti izrazito nemške korenine Sprenglerjeve filozofije. V ozadju antagonizma med razsvetljenskim univerzalizmom in njegovemu antipodu, ki se je odražal skozi različna gibanja, katerih osrednja značilnost se kaže v apologiji svobode, obravnavam problem individualnega in občega. Postmoderno predstavim v luči nadaljevanja Spenglerjevega zavračanja razsvetljenskih nazorov. Spenglerjev pesimizem in zavračanje demokracije -ter predvsem današnjo krizo demokracije- predstavim v odnosu postmodernega razočaranja nad modernimi zastavki, ki se niso iztekli v utopijah, temveč so se sprevrgli v distopije (v podobah kapitalo-tehno paternalizma).

Abstract

In this thesis I am going to present a German origin of Spengler's philosophy. In the background of antagonism between universalism of enlightenment and his antipode, presented through different movements, all concentraded around apology of freedom, there will be introduced conflict among the individual and common. Postmodern is presented as a continuation of Spengler's rejection of enlightenment positions. Concerning his pessimism and his critique of democracy, I will demonstrate postmodern dissapointment over modern promises resulting in dystopias.
