Extract

Love of a friend and gratitude for the benefactions of a teacher have moved Paul Caringella, Juergen Gebhardt, Thomas A. Hollweck, and Ellis Sandoz to shoulder the gigantic task of publishing all of the major writings of Eric Voegelin in a uniform edition.1 Louisiana State University Press, Voegelin's publisher of choice since 1956, has committed itself to bringing out thirty-four volumes in which his works will be grouped in formal categories, and arranged in roughly chronological order within each classification.
