Product Description
Review
"We are indeed fortunate that one of the twentieth century's authentic titans in philosophy and history thought to set down his autobiographical reflections before his passing. It is hard to imagine a more lustrous and also engrossing memoir."—Robert Nisbet
"A valuable introduction for any student of Voegelin, being, as it is, nothing less than Voegelin's own account of the intellectual influences that went into the making of his great work, Order and History. We are indebted to Ellis Sandoz."—Walker Percy
Book Description
The thirty-fourth 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. The last covers the entire edition, apart from The History of Political Ideas, which has its own index, and volumes 29 and 30, the Selected Correspondence, which are at present not published.
The glossary lists, defines, and illustrates from the author’s writings many of the key terms employed, paying particular attention to the Greek terms. The cumulative index supplies a more comprehensive access to the contents of the entire Collected Works. Together, the glossary and index systematically include names, subjects, ideas, writings, and terms, making this culminating volume an indispensable help for any serious study of Eric Voegelin’s oeuvre.

What can I say about Voegelin?, Nov 29 2008
By Richard Lionheart - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Autobiographical Reflections (CW34): Revised Edition, with a Voegelin Glossary and Cumulative Index (Hardcover)
This is the story of a man who dedicated his life to education, much like Plato and Aristotle. To his education and of his fellow students. Is a beautiful story of a real scholar the ones like, unfortunately, you don't see anymore. Here you have his intelectual biography. If you want to know what is to be a real philosopher read it.The glossary of Voegelian terms and the Index of the whole collected works is also very useful to any serious student of Voegelin.
