International Political Anthropology
This link is to Volume 1 Number 2 November 2008 of International Political Anthropology, a new and impressive journal of interdisciplinary studies. This issue features two articles by Voegelin scholars:
The first is by John von Heyking: "'Sunaisthetic' Friendship and the Foundations of Political Anthropology"
From the Abstract:"By considering the manner that Aristotle thought the very activity of thought is to know and to love one’s friend, we see how friendship constitutes the foundation of politics, while also pointing beyond politics to the contemplation of the good."
The second is by Arpad Szakolczai:
"The Spirit of the Nation-State: Nation, Nationalism and Inner-worldly Eschatology in the Work of Eric Voegelin"
From the Abstract:"Eric Voegelin, one of the earliest, most faithful and still most important followers of Max Weber, on the links between religion and the nation-state in modernity, represent a still untapped resource for the study of nations and nationalism; potentially the “missing classic” of the field."
The journal is the fruit of the efforts of
its publishers, Arpad Szakolczai and his wife.
