Spengler's thinking about technique is inserted in the context of relationship between the technique and its impact on contemporary western culture, being one of the pioneering works and that invokes a series of problems as can be seen in the development of this article. What is intended to be demonstrated is the cyclical and metaphysical view of the technique, and also to point out that such view is due to the morphological method used by him in the Decadence of the West. The discussions will go through significant authors such as Heidegger and others who looked at Spengler's work to scrutinize some sense of history from there. This article takes as it’s central work the small book entitled The man and the technique, published in 1931
