Eric Voegelin is famous as a philosopher of history and a as one of
the most eminent political scientists of the 20th century. His most
fundamental work on political theory, the "New Science of Politics,
is nowadays considered a classic in ist field. While the "New
Science" has always been a very controversial book, ist critics
have hardly ever taken the pain to pinpoint the weaknesses they
condemmed Voegelins book for. There is, however, one exception:
Only shortly after the appearance of Voegelins "New Science" in
1954, Hans Kelsen has written a most detailed reply to this book of
his former student. This reply, which was known to Voegelin and is
mentioned in his autobiography, is now being published by the ontos
verlag. Being a distinguished philosopher himself of an erudition
and breadth of knowledge that matches that of Eric Voegelin, Hans
Kelsen is able to support the critical stance he takes on Voegelin
"New Science" by clear and well founded argument. This critical
reply to Voegelins "New Science" is not only an important
contribution to the dispute about the foundations of political
order in modern society, but will also prove valuable to readers
generally interested in Voegelins life and work.
