Cr�ticas

This book serves as a thoughtful, intelligible introduction to Eric Voegelin, especially for those who may not be well-versed in his voluminous and dense scholarship. Reading Voegelin requires intelligence, and reading and accurately interpreting and explaining Voegelin requires considerable erudition. This is a book of erudition, and it should satisfy anyone's quest to probe the general parameters of the mind of Eric Voegelin. * Journal of Church and State *

Rese�a del editor

During his distinguished academic career, Eric Voegelin was described as the most important philosopher of history and consciousness since Toynbee; similarly, Voegelin has been interpreted by his critics using virtually every ideological label available: fascist, communist, liberal, conservative, existentialist, fideist, socialist, reactionary, Jew, Catholic, and Protestant. With startling new insights into the theoretical foundations of Voegelin's writings, Heilke's gripping analysis and compelling conclusions demonstrate how his subject was primarily a philosopher in quest of reality, and why no ideological category can grasp the core of such an intellectual journey.
