Here you will find a list of all published volumes of the
Collected Works. Publication and editorial data is given for
each volume and each is linked to its table of contents and
its index. Click here for
a brief biographical sketch of Eric Voegelin.
Please note that each volume carries its own copyright
date, which can be found on the copyright page of each
individual volume.
All of the volumes are in print. If you wish, you may
order one or more of the volumes directly from the publisher
by calling 1-800-828-1894 or by visiting the website at:

Note: Louisiana State University was Eric Voegelin's
principle publisher during his lifetime, but lately LSU
decided to become a regional publisher, specializing in US
southern literature and history (a very much needed thing),
and fortunately for readers of EV, the University of
Missouri Press secured the services of the LSU editorial
director concerned with EV's works—an apparent
blessing for everyone.
The Collected Works of Eric Voegelin are abbreviated
here "CW."
Immediately below is a list of the individual volumes linked
to their tables of contents. Further down the page is a
detailed description of each volume, giving publication data,
the editorial contributors, links to their indexes and again,
links to their tables of contents.

"[The Nazi annexation
of Austria] is the reason why this book, which I
consider one of my better efforts, has remained
practically unknown, though it would be of considerable
help in the contemporary, rather dilettantic, debates
between evolutionists and
anti-evolutionists."

Chapter 7, Political Stimuli, p 25.

Geistesgeschicte von Ray bis Carus , Junker und

Based Upon the Abbreviated Version Originally translated by
Gerhart Niemeyer.
This new edition faithfully mirrors
Zur Theologie der Geschichte und Politik, Piper
& Co. Verlag, Munich, 1966, and therefore includes
materials excluded from the Niemeyer edition in 1978 for
various reasons.
Because the Gerhart Niemeyer translation (Notre Dame 1978,
U. Missouri [paperback] 1990) is still in use, the Analytic
Table of Contents, though reflecting somewhat different
materials, is preserved for reference
below .
Translated and edited by Gerhart Niemeyer,
University of Notre Dame Press, South Bend, 1978,
Paperback Edition (used here) University of Missouri
Press, Columbia, 1990.
[This edition has been superseded by the new
translation found as Volume 6 of the Collected Works
above which includes material not
included here. Two essays included here but not found
in Volume 6 are printed instead in Volume 12:
"Reason: The Classic Experience," and
"Remembrance of Things Past." This volume
also featured an Analytic Table of Contents which has
been preserved here. Volume 6 has a detailed Index
but no Analytic Table of Contents.]
