Eric Voegelin's Political Readings fills a critical void by providingan 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.

Verlagsinfo: L'existència d'una filosofia catalana ha estat reiteradament i interessadament posada en qüestió. S'ha volgut diluir la nostra filosofia dins el pensament hispànic o, simplement, presentar-la com a mera receptora o divulgadora dels corrents filosòfics europeus, sense capacitat per a aportar res al pensament europeu. Unes altres vegades s'ha volgut cenyir a les elucubracions superficials, per exemple, d'un Eugeni d'Ors o a determinades obres menors de Ferrater Móra. El que fa Jordi Sales és llegir alguns autors, com Pere Coromines o Jaume Serra i Húnter, i demostrar que han fet aportacions de molt de pes a la nostra cultura.
