Description

Book Synopsis
Throughout his philosophical career, Eric Voegelin had much to say about literature in both his published work and his private letters. The Philosopher and the Storyteller is the first book-length study of the literary dimensions of Voegelin’s philosophy—and the first to use his philosophy to read specific novels.

Trade Review
One of the most perceptive and well-written works concerning Eric Voegelin's thought and its illuminative potential that this reader has had the pleasure to encounter. The book exploits the wide-ranging and penetrating insights of Voegelin pertinent to literary criticism and applies them in a coherent, masterly way."" - Glenn Hughes, author of Mystery and Myth in the Philosophy of Eric Voegelin
