Voegelin’s Conception of Political and Historical Knowledge

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Voegelin’s Conception of Political and Historical Knowledge

Friday 03 January 2025 is the 124th anniversary of the birth of Erich Hermann Wilhelm Vögelin (03 January 1901 – 19 January 1985), known today as Eric Voegelin, who was born in Cologne on this date in 1901.

In previous episodes on Voegelin I discussed his relationships to Toynbee and especially to Husserl. In this episode I’ll again discuss Voegelin in relation to Husserl, in particular where they agree and where they differ about the nature of knowledge and scientific methodology, and how this shapes Voegelin’s conception of history.
