Science, Politics & Gnosticism by Eric Voegelin
Eric Voegelin, one of today's leading political theorists and author of the contemporary classic The New Science of Politics, here contends that certain modern movements, including Positivism, Hegelianism, Marxism and the God is Dead movement, are variants of the Gnostic tradition of antiquity. He attempts to resolve the intellectual confusion that has resulted from the dominance of gnostic thought by clarifying the distinction between political gnosticism and the philosophy of politics. Highly provocative, this book is essential reading for students of modern politics, philosophy, and religion.At the time of his death, Eric Voegelin (1901-1985) was a Senior Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is the author of a number of publications, including the five-volume Order and History.
