The book delves into the evolution of Eric Voegelin's thought on consciousness and its political implications, tracing his shift from the History of Political Ideas to his influential work, The New Science of Politics. It examines his exploration of consciousness differentiation, myth, and nature, alongside his later writings that revisit the philosophy of consciousness and its historical context. The text also highlights Voegelin's meditative approach to political science and addresses the critical question of how his philosophy relates to Christianity.
