Just as I wrote in my review of the VOL. 1 of the book. This is one of the most important, impactful, insightful and unapologetic books I will ever read. And you should too.
Its challenging, requires tons of context and I highly recommend making notes while reading. This part includes some of the best and the worst of Spengler. Thoughts about religion and the transition into puritanism and rationality. Then concludes with ideas about the final phases of a civilization. This part is more relatable than the first volume of the book but focuses more on politics and theology, we can also find a bit of Spengler'a mini attempts at media studies.
