2 The present article—apart from the epilogue—concentrates on Voegelin's writings themselves with little direct reference to the burgeoning secondary literature or to comparisons with the work of other writers addressing related issues. The primary intent is to get clear on Voegelin's presentation in an extensive body of work still surprisingly unfamiliar to many political theorists almost a half-century after The New Science of Politics first saw the light. There exists, indeed, a substantial secondary literature, and those interested in it can consult for guidance the excellent compilation of Geoffrey L. Price, ed., Eric Voegelin: A Classified Bibliography, Bulletin of the John Rylands University Library of Manchester 76 (1994), 1–180. This extensive bibliography is periodically updated electronically in the Voegelin—Research News, archive address: vax2.concordia.ca/˜vorenews. Another help for readers new to Voegelin's writings is the glossary appended to Webb's, EugeneEric Voegelin: Philosopher of History (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1981), 277–289Google Scholar. Since 1986, the Eric Voegelin Society has conducted programmes of up to nine panels in conjunction with the American Political Science Association's annual meetings; for the thirteenth annual meeting in 1997, see PS: Political Science and Politics 30 (1997), 311, 355 and passimGoogle Scholar see also Eric Voegelin Institute website at http://www2.artsci.lsu.edu/voegelin/voegelin.html for additional programme, conference and bibliographic information.

Rejection of the distinctions traditionally separating faith and reason as empirically insupportable is argued by Voegelin in “The Beginning and the Beyond: A Meditation on Truth,” CW28, 173–232: “We can no longer ignore that the symbols of ‘Faith’ express the responsive quest of man just as much as the revelatory appeal, and that the symbols of ‘Philosophy’ express the revelatory appeal just as much as the responsive quest. We must further acknowledge that the medieval tension between Faith and Reason derives from the origins of these symbols in the two different ethnic cultures of Israel and Hellas, that in the consciousness of Israelite prophets and Hellenic philosophers the differentiating experience of the divine Beyond was respectively focused on the revelatory appeal and the human quest…” (211).

Voegelin's work considered as a “new science” under the aspects of epistemology and ontology has been studied in the following three political science unpublished Ph.D. dissertations at Louisiana State University: Seung-Hyun Baek, “Reality and Knowledge in Voegelin's Political Philosophy,” submitted in May 1989; Charles Warren Burchfield, “Eric Voegelin's Mystical Epistemology and Its Influence on His Theories of Ethics and Politics,” submitted in August 1994; and Todd Eric Myers, “Nature and the Divine: Classical Greek Philosophy and the Political in the Thought of Leo Strauss and Eric Voegelin,” submitted in May 1997. Background in terms of the “German Context” of Geisteswissenschaft and Staatslehre is concisely given in the “Editors' Introduction” to CWI, ix-xxxv, where Jürgen Gebhardt outlines some of the key connections of Voegelin's work to Edmund Husserl, Max Scheler, Karl Jaspers and discusses his exodus from the neo-Kantianism of his mentor, Hans Kelsen, and the “pure theory of law” (Reine Rechtslehre). Voegelin's intentions are directly suggested by his early article “Zur Lehre von der Staatsform,” Zeitschrift für öffentliches Recht 64 (1927), 572–608Google Scholar, and more fully in the unpublished manuscript fragment entitled Herrschaftslehre und Rechtslehre, which dates from circa 1931, and runs some 125 pages in typescript (Hoover Institution, Voegelin Archives, box 53, file 5). The developments of the early period in Voegelin's thought have been carefully studied by Chignola, Sandro in “Fetischismus der Normen: Tra normativismo e sociologia: Eric Voegelin e la dottrina dello stato (1924–1938),” Rivista Internazionale di Filosofia del Diritto, 4th ser., 70 (1993), 515–565.Google Scholar

73 Cf. NSP, 31, 52, 117, 133. “Unoriginal thinking” is formulated in the essay “Equivalences of Experience and Symbolization” as follows: “The validating question will have to be: Do we have to ignore and eclipse a major part of the historical field in order to maintain the truth of the propositions, as the fundamentalist adherents of this or that ideological doctrine must do; or are the propositions recognizably equivalent with the symbols created by our predecessors in the search of truth about human existence? The test of truth, to put it pointedly, will be the lack of originality in the propositions” (CW12, 122, emphasis added).

76 The Weberian aspect of Voegelin's political science is discussed in AR, 11–14, 16, 33, 45–46 and throughout. It is the subject of a lively debate between Jürgen Gebhardt and Lawrence, Frederick G., who favours Voegelin the mystic-philosopher, in McKnight, Stephen A. and Price, Geoffrey L., eds., International and Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Eric Voegelin (Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 1997), 10–58Google Scholar. This volume also includes a valuable classified bibliography by Price. That the imagined two Voegelins—scientist and mystic—are not mutually exclusive but complementary also can be seen from Voegelin's lecture “On the Greatness of Max Weber [1964]” which concludes by suggesting that Weber considered himself to be a mystic.

80 David Levy explores this subject in books cited in note 78. The starting point for Voegelin, that is, in his work of the 1930s, was the Platonic-Aristotelian and Christian anthropology of Max Scheler and of one of his mentors at Vienna, Othmar Spann. See Max Scheler, Die Stellung des Menschen im Kosmos (1928) as well as Der Formalismus in der Ethik und die materiale Wertethik (1913–1916), Vom Umsturz der Werte (1915), Vom Ewigen im Menschen (1921) and Vom Wesen der Sympathie (2nd ed., 1923), all published in Gesammelte Werke, 9 vols.
