With few exceptions, the originals are to be found in the Hoover Institution Archives at Stanford University. Correspondents include Leo Strauss, Karl Lowith, Alfred Schutz, Aaron Gurwitsch, Hans Kelsen, Marshal McLuhan, Bertrand de Jouvenel, Arnold Toynbee, and Marie Konig, among others. Beginning at a time when Voegelin was working on a major theoretical breakthrough, reflected in the Walgreen Lectures at the University of Chicago and The New Science of Politics, the correspondence highlights the years of publication of the first four volumes of ""Order and History""; Voegelin's move to ""Munich"", where he founded and directed the university's Institut fur Politische Wissenschaft; and his years as Henry Salvatori Distinguished Fellow at the Hoover Institution in Stanford from 1969 to 1974. Voegelin remained a tireless correspondent until the last years of his life. Voegelin's Munich years, while not without controversy, can be seen as the most successful time in his life, as well as his most creative and prolific as a political philosopher. During that time, Voegelin worked on volume IV of ""Order and History"", and the letters written to successive directors of the Louisiana State University Press, as well as to friends and colleagues, give a vivid account of the changing nature of this seminal project. Voegelin's letters written between 1969 and 1984 provide compelling evidence of the intellectual vigor that characterized his work throughout his life and continued virtually undiminished until the last weeks before his death. Voegelin's realism, his sharp wit, and his superbly developed sense of irony remain evident in the correspondence throughout all these years. While letters to Leo Strauss, Robert Heilman, and Alfred Schutz have been published in separate volumes of correspondence, this selection adds an abundance of hitherto unpublished letters, many of them translated from the original German, providing for the first time the outlines of an intellectual biography of one of the most profound thinkers of the twentieth century. Any reader with a serious interest in Voegelin's work will find that the freshness and vitality of his thought are perhaps nowhere more evident than in the letters collected here. As a letter writer, Voegelin always challenged his counterparts, and he is bound to challenge the reader of this correspondence.Sprache: EnglischHerstellungsland und -region: USGewicht: 1392gBuchreihe: Collected Works of Eric VoegelinTitle Format: Gebundene Ausgabe Information fehlt?Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns, wenn Details fehlen und wir werden diese solange möglich zu unserer Beschreibung hinzufügen., Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Buchtitel: Selected Correspondence, 1950-1984 (CW30), Contributor: Thomas Hollweck (Edited by), Produktart: Gebundene Ausgabe, EAN: 9780826216724, Genre: Law & Politics, Erscheinungsdatum: 30.01.2007, Sprache: Englisch, Herstellungsland und -region: US, Gewicht: 1392g, Buchreihe: Collected Works of Eric Voegelin, University of Missouri Press<

1975. The Southern Review, 1975. Octavo. 7 pages [pages 918 - 925 of Volume XI, No.4 - Autumn 1975 of the Southern Review. Original Offprint / Stapled. Very good condition with some minor signs of wear and some staining only. Signed and inscribed by Emory Professor, Gregor Sebba, to Henry David Aiken: "For Professor Aiken from a fellow traveller - G. Sebba". In this excellent paper, Gregor Sebba reflects on the importance of Volume Four of Voegelin's "Ecumenic Age". Gregor Sebba, who inspired and followed Voegelin's work from the early 1930s, and who also co-published the Festschrift for Voegelin's 80th birthday, is full of praise in his paper and writes "Volume Four will stand as a landmark in the never-ending quest for an understanding of order, history and human existence". Gregor Sebba: "With the publication of "The Ecumenic Age", which modestly presents itself as Volume Four of his main work "Order and History", Eric Voegelin's solitary intellectual enterprise - one of the greatest of the century - has come to full fruition: the philosopher has thrown off the last shackles of that historicism into which he had been born at the precise beginning of the century, January 3, 1901." "Gregor Sebba, born in Latvia, entered the advertising business in Austria as Hitler was coming into power. In 1931 he brought together a group of about 35 people (among them Eric Voegelin) who were troubled about the rise of totalitarianism. Civil war broke out and Sebba fled to England when threatened with arrest for his political beliefs. There he opened an art studio and served in the British Army. Early in World War II, Sebba was recruited by the Office of Strategic Services for Europe, where his duties included parachuting behind enemy lines. He came to the United States in 1938 and gained American citizenship. He was one of the founders of Austrian Action, an organization which permitted Austrian émigrés to serve with Americans in the war. Among his works was a study on displaced persons in Georgia. Gregor Sebba was the first faculty appointment (1959-1973) to the Institute for the Liberal Arts at Emory University. Sebba left Atlanta in 1973 in order to teach for two additional years in Florida. He died in 1985." (Source: Gregor Sebba Papers - Description on Emory Finding Aids)., 1975, 0, University of Missouri Press. New. 2007.
