About the Author
Eric Voegelin (1901-1985) was one of the most original and influential philosophers of our time. Born in Cologne, Germany, he studied at the University of Vienna, where he became a professor of political science in the Faculty of Law. In 1938, he and his wife, fleeing Hitler, immigrated to the United State. They became American citizens in 1944. Voegelin spent much of his career at Louisiana State University, returning to the University of Munich in 1958. He spent the last five years of his career at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University before retiring there to continue his writing. During his lifetime he published dozens of books and more than one hundred articles.
Review
"Voegelin's construction of Plato . . . is an original work that has taken its place in the first rank of great interpretation of Greek philosophy."—Gerhart Niemeyer
"Voegelin is superior to Toynbee in having a much wider and deeper philosophical background, in taking a greater interest in the history of ideas, and in showing a profounder sympathy with the Judeo-Christian tradition which lives at the heart of Western civilization."—William Foxwell Albright
"It is evident that the lavish praise Voegelin has won from many critics is not extravagant. His is one of the monuments of scholarship of our time. . . . Amid his solid learning and scholarly hypotheses are passages of incandescent eloquence, occasional sallies of humor. His work is an invitation to intellectual and spiritual adventure."—Christian Century
"Voegelin is probably the most influential historian of our century. . . . He is no vulgarizer or ideologue, but a scholar of such breadth and depth as the educational tendency of our age has made very rare among us."
—Yale Review
