No, it's not. This is why I am the expert and you're the one asking questions. Cultures are organisms that have a definite beginning and a definite end. There's nothing cyclical about it. The spring-summer-autmn-winter comparison is a bad one btw. A better conceptualization would just be the life of a plant. It too, like a high-culture, has only one life. Spengler even rethought his relativism to some degree in his later work.

For everybody else: if anybody ever equates Spengler's work with Indian mythology because 'it's cyclical' or something they're either retarded or didn't read Spengler.
