    This paper discusses Spengler’s cultural philosophical interpretation of ethics. Ethics is normally considered as a discipline that argues about good and bad in a manner that applies universally to all. Spengler, however, is a relativist who shows how ethical systems relate to the culture in which they emerge during a certain historical phase. This paper outlines Spengler’s key ideas on ethics and in a ‘Spenglerian way’ reveals typical Faustian traits in contemporary normative discussions with respect to Covid-19 policies, gender, capitalism and moral talk.
