Through a selection of his writings perfectly chosen, it makes manifest to everyone the preeminent place of Eric Voegelin in the intellectual landscape of the twentieth century.\"—Tilo Schabert, University of Erlangen, author of \u003ci\u003eHow World Politics Is Made\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Embry and Hughes have succeeded in presenting a thoroughly accessible and well-crafted introduction to the thought of Eric Voegelin. Providing philosophical readings of substance with erudite commentary, this volume ranges perspicaciously across the eras and interests of Voegelin’s writings and will open to a new audience the grandeur of one of the most penetrating and relevant minds of the twentieth century. The Eric Voegelin Reader is set to become the essential companion to the study of Voegelin’s work.\"—James Greenaway, St. Mary’s University, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Differentiation of Authority: The Medieval Turn toward Existence\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Organized with meticulous care and framed with introductions of exceptional clarity, this reader provides the perfect entrÉe into Voegelin’s thought and the rich treasures of his thirty-four-volume Collected Works. The readings capture, in concentrated form, the full scope of Voegelin’s political and philosophical vision, including the surprising turns in his intellectual development that were born of ever-deepening insights into the nature of reality and human history. There is no contemporary point of view that cannot be enriched and challenged by Voegelin’s uniquely profound and original ideas. The Eric Voegelin Reader will greatly enhance the ease and quality of such encounters.\"—Paul Kidder, Department of Philosophy, Seattle University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Drawing on a broad variety of Voegelin's work—memoirs, interview, lectures, essays, books—the editors present a very intelligent selection of materials that unfolds his main themes in a clear, logical sequence, and this is also greatly aided by their introduction and explanatory comments with reference to each selection. This brilliant collection of Voegelin's most luminous texts offers an excellent one-volume introduction to the full range and scope of a major thinker who might otherwise seem rather overwhelming to someone new to his work.\"—Eugene Webb, University of Washington, author of \u003ci\u003eIn Search of the Triune God: The Christian Paths of East and West\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Eric Voegelin Reader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eACKNOWLEDGMENTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePROLOGUE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePART ONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntellectual Biography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI. \u003ci\u003eCW 34 Autobiographical Reflections\u003c\/i\u003e (1973): Selections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 10: American Influence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 11: Concerning the Year in France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 12: Return to Vienna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 13: Anschluss and Emigration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eII. \u003ci\u003eCW 5 The Political Religions\u003c\/i\u003e (Second edition, 1939): Selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIII. \u003ci\u003eCW 34 Autobiographical Reflections\u003c\/i\u003e (1973): Selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 22: Why Philosophize?
