"The individual lectures, and even more the discussions among several of the greatest minds of the twentieth century, constitute philosophical conversation at the highest level. For those of us who were there, the recollection remains fresh decades later." -BARRY COOPER, author: Eric Voegelin and the Foundations of Modern Political Science********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************"In this brilliant lecture, and subsequent panel remarks, recorded at a by-now legendary 1978 conference at York University, Eric Voegelin lucidly introduces the most important concepts in his mature philosophy of consciousness.... We are fortunate indeed to have this living record, in which Voegelin presents in a manner accessible to first-time listeners the core principles of his late philosophy."-GLENN HUGHES, author: Mystery and Myth in the Philosophy of Eric Voegelin
