Eric Voegelin’s Political Readings
Eric Voegelin’s Political Readings fills a critical void by providing an original approach to studying the work of Eric Voegelin, one of the major political philosophers of the twenty-first century. Across six chapters, experts guide the reader from classical to modern times presenting six political philosophers who have had an impact on the life and philosophical production of Eric Voegelin. Philosophers examined include Plato, Aristotle, Saint Augustine, Hobbes, Weber and Kelsen. Through this innovative structure, the chapters collectively illustrate how Voegelin was an exceptional thinker through his engagement with political philosophers both modern and antique. The plurality of unique, academic perspectives and voices enriches our understanding of Voegelin’s own thought while also encouraging a re-think of ancient and modern thinkers, and the transformation and continuity between these. Designed for students and scholars alike, Eric Voegelin’s Political Readings will appeal to all those with an interest in Voegelin as well as readers familiar with classical and modern political philosophers.
Eric Voegelin
Toda la obra de Eric Voegelin, que nació en Alemania en el primer año del siglo XX, estuvo guiada por la necesidad de comprender aquello que identificó como desorden y decadencia intelectual de una Europa en la que vio crecer los monstruos que provocarían la Primera y la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el Holocausto y el Gulag. Radicado en los Estados Unidos en 1938, Voegelin -que cursó en Viena su doctorado bajo la dirección de Hans Kelsen- desarrolló una obra en diálogo, entre otros, con Jacob Taubes, Leo Strauss, Hannah Arendt y Karl Löwith (con quien proyectó escribir una obra sobre Nietzsche), marcada, como la de ellos, por la experiencia del exilio. Voegelin regresa al pensamiento cl...
Leo Strauss, Philosopher
This volume presents, for the first time in English, the approaches to Leo Strauss being pursued by European scholars in Spain, Italy, and Germany. Whereas the traditions of Strauss interpretation have, until recently, focused on issues of interest to political science and, to a lesser extent, religious studies, this collection makes a powerful contribution to the recent philosophical consideration of Strauss. Each essay treats a unique thread emerging from the tapestry of Straussian thought, illustrating Strauss's thinking on the reading of ancient texts and on the relationship between philosophy and politics. In doing so, Strauss is placed squarely and uncompromisingly within the history of philosophy, in conversation with a large range of philosophical figures.
Leo Strauss and His Legacy
With over 10,000 entries, this bibliography is the most comprehensive guide to published writing in the tradition of Leo Strauss, who lived from 1899 to 1973 and was one of the most influential political philosophers of the twentieth century. John A. Murley provides Strauss's own complete bibliography and identifies the work of hundreds of Strauss's students, and their students' students. Leo Strauss and His Legacy charts the path of influence of a beloved teacher and mentor, a deep and lasting heritage that permeates the classrooms of the twenty-first century. Each new generation of students of political philosophy will find this bibliography an indispensable resource.

Herencias Straussianas
Els autors d’aquest llibre tracten de saber si l’accés a la veritat filosòfica no serà tan difícil en el present com en el passat, en la proximitat de la vida política quotidiana o efímera i, especialment, en la vida política democràtica sorgida, amb el caràcter d’una “veritat evident per si mateixa”, de la Declaració d’Independència i la Constitució dels Estats Units d’Amèrica. Els autors d’aquest llibre han examinat la seua pròpia manera de llegir a Strauss a la llum de les herències straussianas, en un moment especialment confús i segurament complaent a esquerra i dreta en què s’ha fet cas omís del que Strauss va anomenar “la necessitat logogràfica”, la necessitat aprendre a llegir el que els grans pensadors han escrit sense equivocar-se. Però sense l’acceptació de la necessitat logogràfica, la llibertat d’expressió no podria albergar mai l’evidència de la veritat. Aquest llibre s’ha escrit d’acord amb aqueixa necessitat i amb aqueixa llibertat; s’ha escrit per a recuperar l’harmonia entre la necessitat logogràfica i la llibertat d’expressió.
Leo Strauss, Philosopher
European scholars discuss Leo Strauss as a major figure in the history of philosophy. This volume presents, for the first time in English, the approaches to Leo Strauss being pursued by European scholars in Spain, Italy, and Germany. Whereas the traditions of Strauss interpretation have, until recently, focused on issues of interest to political science and, to a lesser extent, religious studies, this collection makes a powerful contribution to the recent philosophical consideration of Strauss. Each essay treats a unique thread emerging from the tapestry of Straussian thought, illustrating Strausss thinking on the reading of ancient texts and on the relationship between philosophy and politics. In doing so, Strauss is placed squarely and uncompromisingly within the history of philosophy, in conversation with a large range of philosophical figures. This is a really wonderful volume, a compelling narrative of Strauss as a reader of philosophical texts who both originated a new way of philosophical exploration as well as freely responded to philosophical and historical circumstances of his time.

Imagination in Religion
Religion would be impossible without imagination. Imagination provides content that otherwise escapes discourse and perception. Thus, it opens up a productive realm for creative involvement that keeps religion from sinking into trivialities or abstractions. The contributions in the present volume explore in various ways potentialities and problems linked to imaginations role in the context of religion. The book challenges readers to think again and think differently about imagination in religion which, in itself, involves the power of imagination. The book opens up fresh perspectives on the interactive dynamics between imagination and various faculties or dimensions of life. Imagination might be involved in thinking, perceiving, contemplation, and in practices. The contributors to the volume are all members of the Nordic Society for the Philosophy of Religion.
