A search for an understanding of the order that can be found in history, and within the human being who is the subject of history, has resulted in a large and complicated body of work by this contemporary philosopher. Eugene Webb offers a full illumination and assessment of that work.

Industry Reviews

"Eugene Webb, whose fields are comparative literature and religion, has written an introduction to Voegelin's work which attempts to sort out and define its perspective and to make the opus more accessible to a variety of readers."

* Journal of Modern History *

"A spate of articles and books about Eric Voegelin indicate the end of the period when his fame surpassed readers' comprehension of his work. Rapidly growing numbers of readers are now demonstrating their comprehension by responding to Voegelin actively, their minds having been stimulated to productions of their own. In this way, Eugene Webb . . . has written a splendid commentary on Voegelin's ideas and achievement . . . a very substantial contribution that deserves to be read not only by those who are interested in learning more about Eric Voegelin, but also by all who feel deeply the crisis of our time and want to work their way out 'from under the rubble.'"

* Modern Age *

"Webb has written a fine expository book, with notes and glossary which will open Voegelin to general readers."
