It remained unpublished during his lifetime, and it came to light through the American edition (1997-1999) and the now completed Portuguese edition (2012-2018). Being the author of the first world edition of an abridged version of the History of Political Ideas ; the translator of the first three volumes of the 2012-2018 Portuguese edition; and the author of The civil philosophy of Eric Voegelin (my 1990 Ph. D diss.) I consider that the History of Political Ideas challenges the present climate of opinion: it subverts the dominant corrosive forces of moral relativism, intolerant neo-positivism, end-of-history obsessions, postmodernist deconstructions, agnosticism, nihilism, new age religions, and the all-pervasive ideology of money. Eric Voegelin achieves all this leading his readers from Antiquity to Modern Age. His monumental work begins with the “spiritual disintegration” of the Greek world, after the peak of Plato and Aristotle, a disintegration that ushered a long process of transition in the self-understanding of man in the Mediterranean world. The series goes through Middle Ages , R enaissance and Reformation as Voegelin analyzes the collapse of imperial Christianity, which led to the rise of autonomous reason and sectarian revolts that reached full development in later centuries. A new form of modern human consciousness replaced the Christian understanding of a divinely created closed cosmos. The collection ends - in a suspensive way - with “The Crisis and the Apocalypse of Man” focused on thinkers such as Comte, Bakunine and Marx; although they experienced true epiphanies, they become self-obsessed to the detriment of the world to which they refer. Such “Apocalypse of Man” must now be challenged, albeit with methodologies and hermeneutic principles other than those that Voegelin himself abandoned some decades ago.«История политических идей» немецко-американского философа Эрика Фёгелина (1901-1985) представляет собой монументальное произведение объемом около 2600 страниц. Оно оставалось неопубликованным при его жизни и впервые увидело свет благодаря американскому изданию (1997-1999 годы) и ныне завершенному португальскому изданию (2012-2018 годы). Будучи автором первого в мире издания сокращенной версии «Истории политических идей», переводчиком первых трех томов португальского издания 2012-2018 годов, и автором «“Гражданской философии” Эрика Фёгелина», я считаю, что «История политических идей» бросает вызов нынешнему разнообразию философских позиций: она подрывает разъедающие силы морального релятивизма, нетерпимого неопозитивизма, навязчивые идеи о конце истории, постмодернистские деконструкции, агностицизм, нигилизм, религии нового времени и всепроникающую идеологию денег. Эрик Фёгелин добивается всего этого, ведя своих читателей от античности до современности. Его монументальная работа начинается с «духовного распада» греческого мира, после Платона и Аристотеля. Распада, который положил начало долгому процессу перехода к самопониманию человека в средиземноморском мире. Через Средние века, Ренессанс и Реформацию Фёгелин анализирует крах имперского христианства, который привел к росту автономного разума и восстаниям на религиозной почве, достигшим полного развития в последующие века. Новая форма современного человеческого сознания заменила христианское понимание божественно созданного закрытого космоса. Фёгелин оставляет открытую концовку, заявляя о «Кризисе и Апокалипсисе человека». Он рассматривает таких мыслителей, как Конт, Бакунин и Маркс. Хотя они испытали истинное прозрение, они стали одержимыми собой и собственными идеями в ущерб миру, о котором рассуждали. Такой «Апокалипсис человека» теперь должен быть поставлен под сомнение вместе с методологиями и герменевтическими принципами, от которых сам Фёгелин отказался несколько десятилетий назад.philosophypolitical sciencehistory of ideaspolitical historyspiritual realismcivil theologymethodologyenlightenmentreformationpositivismфилософияполитологияистория идейполитическая историядуховный реализмгражданское богословиеметодологияпросвещениереформацияпозитивизм1.ORDER AND HISTORY. 5 vol. subset.
