Books in the Collected Works of Eric Voegelin series

A collection of political thoughts from the Middle Ages opens with Voegelin's survey of the structure of the period and continues with an analysis of the Germanic invasion, the fall of Rome, and the rise of the empire and monastic Christianity, climaxing with a study of the views of Thomas Aquinas.

The 43th volume of The Collected Works of Eric Voegelin consists of Voegelin's Autobiographical Reflections, reprinted from the 1989 edition with additional annotations; a glossary of terms used in Voegelin's writings, illustrated with examples from throughout the Collected Works; a volume index; and a cumulative index.

One of two volumes which bring together Voegelin's miscellaneous papers, this text gathers crucial writings from the early formative period of this scholar's thought. It begins with Voegelin's dissertation on sociological method, which he completed in 1922.

This study of the history of Western political ideas begins with a discussion of the conflict between Bishop Bousset and Voltaire concerning the relationship between what is conventionally identified as sacred and profane history, and goes on to examine the ""New Science"" of Vico.
