Platn a Aristoteles Voegelin Eric (2023)

Eric Voegelin (19011985) was a German-American political philosopher. His work Order and History was intended as an original contribution to the philosophy of history, examining order in the human soul, society and history through the symbols in which that order has been expressed, from ancient Oriental civilisations to the present day. Voegelin soon interrupted the project, however, because he considered it necessary to revise its theoretical foundations. The volume devoted to Plato and Aristotle therefore became the last to follow the original plan. It presents philosophy, particularly at its peak, as a symbolic form through which the soul articulates the movements of the cosmos and society, and above all its own movement between order and disorder, truth and untruth, justice and injustice, ascent and decline, the love of wisdom and the love of appearance, and ultimately between life and death.
