The World of the Polis by Eric Voegelin 《城邦的世界》

The World of the Polis by Eric Voegelin

This second volume of Voegelin's magisterial Order and History, The World of the Polis, explores the ancient Greek symbolization of human reality. Taking us from the origins of Greek culture in the Pre-Homeric Cretan civilizations, through the Iliad and Odyssey, Hesiod, and the rise of philosophy with the Pre-Socratics Parmenides and Heraclitus, this masterful work concludes with the historians of the classical period.
In The World of the Polis, Voegelin traces the emergence of the forms of the city-state and of philosophy from the ancient symbolism of myth. He maintains that the limits and ultimate goals of human nature are constant and that the central problem of every society is the same—"to create an order that will endow the fact of its existence with meaning in terms of ends divine and human." Thus, Voegelin shows how "the meaning of existence" achieved concrete expression in the typical political, social, and religious institutions of Greece and in the productions of its poets and thinkers. He deals with more than fifty Greek writers in the course of his analysis of the rise of myth and its representation of the divine order of the cosmos as the first great symbolic form of order, one later supplanted by the leap in being reflected in the emergence of philosophy.
The book is a tour de force, a virtuoso performance by a scholar and philosopher of great power, learning, and imagination that places its subject matter in a new light. The editor's critical introduction places The World of the Polis in the broader context of Voegelin's philosophy of history. Scholars and students of political science, philosophy, and the history of ideas will find this work invaluable.

作者簡介  · · · · · ·

埃里克·沃格林(Eric Voegelin),1901年生於德國科隆,但他“完全是在維也納熏陶成長起來的”,而沃格林的學術生命,嚴格說來,卻是在美國度過和完成的。沃格林大學期間主修的是法律,他的導師是名噪一時的法律實證主義大師凱爾森,但他似乎更關心“法國、德國哲學家以及天主教神學家的著作”,而在公眾眼中,沃格林是一位不折不扣的政治哲學家。一切地域文化的界限,學科專業的藩籬,在沃格林身上都土崩瓦解。
