Spengler states civilization is the beginning of the decline of a culture as "the most external and artificial states of which a species of developed humanity is capable."[36]
Spengler maosang yéning panglimbak kawagedan manusané punika wantah pangawit kawéntenan budaya sané "nyansan ngreredang pinaka sangkaning panglalah saking sisi miwah sané kakaryanin olih kramané sané sampun maju."
