The Decline of the West Is Western Civilization declining? At the beginning of the 20th century, the German philosopher Oswald Spengler predicted the forthcoming end of Western civilization. The British historian Arnold Toynbee presented a similar scenario for Western civilization. Michio Kitahara, a native of Japan, has recently published a 900-page trilogy dealing with the fate of Western civilization. In this trilogy, Kitahara too presents a pessimistic picture of Western civilization. By relying on the latest findings in such diverse fields of knowledge as neurophysiology, psychology, psychoanalysis, anthropology, primatology, sociology, history, political philosophy, and economics, Kitahara discusses a large number of grave problems that Western civilization is faced with. THE TRAGEDY OF EVOLUTION, THE ENTANGLED CIVILIZATION, and THE AFRICAN REVENGE by Michio Kitahara The Tragedy of Evolution: The Human Animal Confronts Modern Society (Westport, CT: Praeger, 1991) discusses the increasing human suffering as a result of biological and cultural evolution. To a significant extent, Western civilization has been instrumental in creating this human condition. For a detailed description and reader reviews click here. The Entangled Civilization: Democracy, Equality, and Freedom at a Loss (Lanham, MD: University Press of America, 1995) discusses in detail a depressingly large number of incompatibilities, contradictions, and conflicts that now exist among various aspects of Western civilization. As Western civilization developed, these problems also increased and intensified and are threatening the continuation of Western civilization.
