Description: |
Eric Voegelin has been interpreted using virtually every ideological label, including fascist, communist, liberal, conservative, existentialist, socialist and reactionary. Thomas Heilke contends that none of these labels are capable of properly representing the essence of Voegelin's work. |
Synopsis: |
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. |
