Seven Theses

I. Organisms have life- and death-instincts.
II. Society is an organism.
III. Society has life- and death-instincts.
IV. When the life-instinct is predominant in a society, the result is a renaissance-type society; when the death-instinct is predominant in a society, the result is a decadent society.
V. When the death-instinct in a society reaches an extreme, it turns into its opposite, the life-instinct.
VI. Decadence, or the death-instinct, has now reached an extreme in most Western societies.
VII. The death-instinct, having reached an extreme in most Western societies, will now turn into its opposite, the life-instinct. Thus, most Western societies are at the start of a renaissance.
