Originally published in German in 1966, this is the first English paperback version of this text. It is an overview of the author's philosophy of human consciousness and the effect that it has had on history.

This volume includes some of Eric Voegelin's most provocative and interesting essays, written between 1940 and 1952. It contains his first publications after he fled from Austria to the US as Hitler rose to power, providing eyewitness commentary on the rise of National Socialism.

In this text, Eric Voegelin explores two aspects of modernity. He offers an account of the political situation in 17th-century Europe after the decline of the church and the empire, and also explains his theory of ""phenomenalism"".

This study of the history of Western political ideas begins with a discussion of the conflict between Bishop Bousset and Voltaire concerning the relationship between what is conventionally identified as sacred and profane history, and goes on to examine the ""New Science"" of Vico.

A collection of political thoughts from the Middle Ages opens with Voegelin's survey of the structure of the period and continues with an analysis of the Germanic invasion, the fall of Rome, and the rise of the empire and monastic Christianity, climaxing with a study of the views of Thomas Aquinas.

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.

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.

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.

This volume identifies two distinct beginnings of the movement toward modern political consciousness, the Renaissance and the Reformation. It analyzes the political ideas that first emerged during the Renaissance and Reformation and considers their presence in modern thought.

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.

Contains the most significant pieces of unpublished writing completed by Eric Voegelin during an important time of his career. Spanning the period from the early 1960s to the late 1970s, these selections supplement the body of work Voegelin published after the appearance of the first three volumes of Order and History in 1956 and 1957.

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.

This volume confronts the disintegration of traditional sources of meaning and the correlative attempts to generate new sources from within the self. Voegelin allows the reader to contemplate the crisis in its starkest terms - as the apocalypse of man that seeks to replace the apocalypse of God.

In this, his third volume on the history of political ideas, Vogelin continues his exploration of political thought, illuminating the great figures of the high Middle Ages and particulary focusing on the ""civilizational schism"" which resulted in the disappearance of the ""sacrum imperium"".

Contains selected correspondence written by Eric Voegelin during the period 1924 to 1949. This work is suitable for readers concerned with political theory and with better understanding of Voegelin's intellectual pilgrimage from his earliest academic years to his emergence as one of the most significant philosophers of our time.

"Thirty-five years ago few could have predicted that "The New Science of Politics would be a best-seller by political theory standards. Compressed within the Draconian economy of the six Walgreen lectures is a complete theory of man, society, and history, presented at the most profound and intellectual level. . . . Voegelin's [work] stands out in bold relief from much of what has passed under the name of political science in recent decades. . . . The New Science is aptly titled, for Voegelin makes clear at the outset that a 'return to the specific content' of premodern political theory is out of the question. . . . The subtitle of the book, An Introduction, clearly indicates that The New Science of Politics is an invitation to join the search for the recovery of our full humanity."--From the new Foreword by Dante Germino "This book must be considered one of the most enlightening essays on the character of European politics that has appeared in half a century. . . . This is a book powerful and vivid enough to make agreement or disagreement with even its main thesis relatively unimportant."--"Times Literary Supplement "Voegelin . . . is one of the most distinguished interpreters to Americans of the non-liberal streams of European thought. . . . He brings a remarkable breadth of knowledge, and a historical imagination that ranges frequently into brilliant insights and generalizations."--Francis G. Wilson, "American Political Science Review "This book is beautifully constructed . . . his erudition constantly brings a startling illumination."--Martin Wright, "International Affairs "A ledestar to thinking men who seek a restoration of political science on the classic andChristian basis . . . a significant accomplishment in the retheorization of our age."--Anthony Harrigan, "Christian Century
