About the Author
Eric Voegelin (1901-1985) was one of the most original and
influential philosophers of our time. Born in Cologne, Germany, he
studied at the University of Vienna, where he became a professor of
political science in the Faculty of Law. In 1938, he and his wife,
fleeing Hitler, immigrated to the United States. They became
American citizens in 1944. Voegelin spent much of his career at
Louisiana State University, the University of Munich, and the
Hoover Institution at Stanford University. During his lifetime he
published many books and more than one hundred articles.

"Anamnesis is the work of Voegelin to which any student of his
thought must return again and again."--Paul Caringella, Hoover
Institution on War, Revolution and Peace
"The idea of reissuing Gerhart Niemeyer's edition of Voeglin's
Anamnesis as a paperback is a winner all the way. . . . The German
version is not available; and Niemeyer's translation is out of
print and much in demand, since it contains some of the most
important things Eric Voegelin ever wrote."--Ellis Sandoz, Director
of the Eric Voegelin Institute for American Renaissance Studies
