This book examines key twentieth-century philosophers, theologians,
and social scientists who began their careers with commitments to
the political left only later to reappraise or reject them. Their
reevaluation of their own previous positions reveals not only the
change in their own thought but also the societal changes in the
culture, economics, and politics to which they were reacting. By
exploring the evolution of the political thought of these
philosophers, this book draws connections among these thinkers and
schools and discovers the general trajectory of twentieth-century
political thinking in the West.
This book analyzes Eric Voegelin's scholarly works from the 1950s
and early 1960s and examines the ways in which these works are
relevant to the twenty-first century political environment. The
collection of essays evaluated in this book cover a wide array of
topics that were of great curiosity sixty years ago and still
relevant in today's society. The authors in this volume demonstrate
that Voegelin's erudition on topics such as revolutionary change,
ideological fervor, industrialization, globalism, and the place for
reason and how it may be cultivated in complex time's remains as
meaningful today as it was then.
