Synopsis:
At the heart of Eric Voegelin's thought is the relationship between the truth of order discovered in experiences of transcendence and the incarnation of that order in particular societies. The tension that exists between the truth of order and its social incarnation and the failure of any given society to fully embody this order are recurrent themes in this preeminent philosopher's work.
Whereas other studies have examined Voegelin's political theory with varying degrees of specificity, Eric Voegelin and the Good Society offers the only concentrated study of Voegelin's thought concerning the possibility of the good society. The volume is distinct in addressing the impact of Voegelin's epistemological position on his social and political thought. Philosophers, theologians, and political scientists, as well as anyone concerned with the relationship between religion and public life, will find this volume invaluable.
