I was a student of Prof. Ellis Sandoz at LSU. Dr. Sandoz was a student and devotee of Voegelin. I think EV taught at LSU.

Anyway, I hadn't heard or thought of that name for quite some time. I just pulled out The New Science of Politics and might give it a read. Boy do I remember the spudaioi, dike, doxa, epistime.

That sure brings back memories. I think I learned more Greek in that class than I would have in a Greek language class.

I wish you courage. His published essays in the new Collected Works are very readable.

Apparently Voegelin is very well-respected in the Classical Studies journals. An essay I am reading about Herodotus's political thought recommends Voegelin to the reader, and the local university library finally purchased most of Voegelin's CW.
