Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"We are indeed fortunate that one of the twentieth century's authentic titans in philosophy and history thought to set down his autobiographical reflections before his passing. It is hard to imagine a more lustrous and also engrossing memoir."—Robert Nisbet
"A valuable introduction for any student of Voegelin, being, as it is, nothing less than Voegelin's own account of the intellectual influences that went into the making of his great work, Order and History. We are indebted to Ellis Sandoz."—Walker Percy

Voegelin spent much of his career at Louisiana State University, the University of Munich, and the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. During his lifetime he published many books and more than one hundred articles. The Collected Works of Eric Voegelin will make available in a uniform edition all of Voegelin's major writings.

What can I say about Voegelin?,
By Richard Lionheart (Porto alegre) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Autobiographical Reflections (Collected Works of Eric Voegelin, Volume 34) (Hardcover)
This is the story of a man who dedicated his life to education, much like Plato and Aristotle. To his education and of his fellow students. Is a beautiful story of a real scholar the ones like, unfortunately, you don't see anymore. Here you have his intelectual biography. If you want to know what is to be a real philosopher read it.
The glossary of Voegelian terms and the Index of the whole collected works is also very useful to any serious student of Voegelin.
