“...the spiritual disorder of our time, the civilizational crisis of which everyone so readily speaks, does not by any means have to be borne as an inevitable fate; that, on the contrary, everyone possesses the means of overcoming it in his own life. And our effort should not only indicate the means, but also how to employ them. No one is obliged to take part in the spiritual crises of society; on the contrary, everyone is obliged to avoid the folly and live his life in order.” Eric Voegelin ------------------------------- I think Voegelin is the most important contemporary philosopher. Hes especially vital on the heresy of ideological thinkers (such as Hegel and Marx) and on the extent to which they fraudulently substitute their systems for reality.
