The aim of this paper is to reveal the prefigurative status of Spengler's philosophy towards nietzscheanian thought. As a focus for this discussion, we will compare the main metaphysical categories of both philosophers from structuralistic, functional and semantic perspectives. Furthermore, the concept of their philosophy reveals the regaining of art, inspired mainly by romantic ideals, as the greatest activity of human being. The second part of this paper seeks to extend the problem of individualism in both philosophies, as a result of their strong connection with the paradigm of the German myth of Greece.
