For Spengler, modernity is an ambiguous phenomenon. Like the Roman god Janus, it presents two faces: on one side, a Faustian and adventurous vitalism, the transformer of organic nature; on the other, a homogenizing and inorganic ideology that aims to standardize whole planet, putting an end to the age of “high cultures” (Hochkulturen). The first corresponds to our tragic vision of the world, the second with the progressivist vision of History, prevalent since the Renaissance. (filcarlos)
