Im Zentrum dieses »bemerkenswerten Essays« (Jan Assmann) steht die Erhellung der ursprünglichen Bedeutung des Symbols Unsterblichkeit in der erfahrbaren Wirklichkeit. Voegelin führt darin die »Unsterblichkeitssymbolik bis zu ihrem Ursprung in der Erfahrung« zurück, um zu zeigen, »dass das Leben mehr ist als nur sterbliches Leben«. Wie sein gesamtes philosophisches Werk ist auch dieser Text eine Reaktion auf die von ihm empfundene geistige Kris...
Il volume raccoglie tre ampi saggi di Eric Voegelin pubblicati in diverse fasi della sua ricerca filosofica e della sua carriera accademica americana e inediti nella nostra lingua. I titoli sono: Il liberalismo e la sua storia, Genesi intellettuale de Il principe di Machiavelli e Note su tempo e memoria in sant'Agostino, tre temi apparentemente assai distanti ma ai quali è sottesa la medesima prospettiva critica della modernità del grande filo...
In den beiden hier versammelten, in sich abgeschlossenen Studien Angst und Vernunft und Vernunft: Die Erfahrung der Philosophen aus den Jahren 1967 bzw. 1973 geht es um ein neues Verständnis der Historiogenesis - die Entstehung von Geschichtlichkeit und die Ablösung von kosmologisch geordneten Gesellschaften durch die lineare jüdisch-christliche Zeitlichkeit - sowie um Fragen der Äquivalenz von Mythos und Philosophie, wie sie Eric Voegelin in ...

A collection of eight essays on Eric Voegelin. The treatment of religious experience is a crucial part of his analysis of existence and history. This work explores the relevance of that analysis to the understanding of political theory, ideology, history and philosophy of consciousness.
Ordine e storia" è una delle opere filosofiche più complesse e originali della seconda metà del Novecento, un intreccio ambizioso e al contempo rigoroso di indagine storica e riflessione teorica. La sua prima traduzione italiana integrale, che qui presentiamo, si avvale inoltre, per ciascuno dei cinque volumi di cui l'opera è composta, di apparati di note di aggiornamento e di autorevoli contributi di approfondimento critico. In particolare qu...
Il volume, qui presentato in edizione italiana, era parte di una storia delle idee politiche scritta da Voegelin negli anni cinquanta, ma da lui lasciata inedita. Il manoscritto fu però visionato da John H. Hallowell il quale ne estrapolò alcuni capitoli, "Crisis and apocalypse of man" e "Revolution and the new science", giudicandoli sostanzialmente autonomi dal resto dell'opera e di enorme importanza per la comprensione dei processi politici ...
One of two volumes which bring together Voegelin's miscellaneous papers, this text gathers crucial writings from the early formative period of this scholar's thought. It begins with Voegelin's dissertation on sociological method, which he completed in 1922.
The 43th volume of The Collected Works of Eric Voegelin consists of Voegelin's Autobiographical Reflections, reprinted from the 1989 edition with additional annotations, a glossary of terms used in Voegelin's writings, illustrated with examples from throughout the Collected Works, a volume index, and a cumulative index.
Provides a window into the mind of a man whose reassessment of the nature of history and thought has overturned traditional approaches to, and appraisals of, the Western intellectual tradition. Here we encounter the motivations for Voegelin's work, the stages in the development of his unique philosophy of consciousness, his key intellectual breakthroughs, his theory of history, and his diagnosis of the political ills of the modern age.
Examining the emergence of modernity within the philosophical and political debates of the 16th century, this book analyzes the "great confusion". It features such thinkers as Calvin, Althusius, Hooker, Bracciolini, Savonarola, Copernicus, Tycho de Brahe, Giordano Bruno and Jean Bodin.
The third volume of a five-book series, "Order and History", this text contains the first half of Eric Voegelin's "Plato and Aristotle", examining Plato and his works and providing a thorough interpretation of Greek philosophy.
From the decline of the Greek Polis to Saint Augustine, this text provides an account of Apostolic Christianity's political implications and the work of the early church fathers. It considers the political philosophy of Rome and includes an analysis of Greek and early Roman law.
Places the rise of the race idea in the context of the development of modern philosophy. The history of the race idea, according to Eric Voegelin, begins with the post-Christian orientation toward a natural system of living forms.
