Editorial Reviews

"The individual lectures, and even more the discussions among several of the greatest minds of the twentieth century, constitute philosophical conversation at the highest level. For those of us who were there, the recollection remains fresh decades later." -BARRY COOPER, author: Eric Voegelin and the Foundations of Modern Political Science ************************************************** ************************************************** ************************************************** ************************************************** "In this brilliant lecture, and subsequent panel remarks, recorded at a by-now legendary 1978 conference at York University, Eric Voegelin lucidly introduces the most important concepts in his mature philosophy of consciousness.... We are fortunate indeed to have this living record, in which Voegelin presents in a manner accessible to first-time listeners the core principles of his late philosophy." -GLENN HUGHES, author: Mystery and Myth in the Philosophy of Eric Voegelin

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for Voegelin fans, October 29, 2008

This review is from: Voegelin in Toronto Conference at York University (DVD)

After great care has been lavished to preserve the video record of an historic meeting, you can see Eric Voegelin in action, waxing philosophical at a conference populated by other important thought leaders of the twentieth century. Fans of Eric Voegelin have been eager to see this. Those new to his work will appreciate the opportunity.

But the most important point is this. Anyone interested in contemporary philosophy will derive great satisfaction from the content of these presentations. Those who brought us this product are to be commended.

It is precious to have "the master himself" on DVD. To be able to experience Eric Voegelin and his genuine joyful personality adds so much to reading his already enticing essays.

I am very thankful that this DVD is available and I will watch it many more times, alone and with likeminded friends.

Thank you!

EV is smart, charming, and very, very
funny! Thank you so much for putting this together because it
gives people the chance to see this guy in action and realize how
much we can learn from his analysis. It was a real treat to see these towering intellectual figures rubbing elbows together. Rarely can we witness a dialogue as provocative and rich as this one.
