REPRESENTATION AND TRUTH GEBUNDEN

The first volume of this new yearbook focuses on Eric Voegelin's 1952 paper New Science of
Politics  its significance and enduring relevance. Eric Voegelin's New Science of Politics is
today considered a classic of recent political philosophy  albeit a controversial one. As soon
as it was published  the book caused a sensation  especially because of its relatively sharp
criticism of the normative foundations of Western modernity. In doing so  Voegelin places the
question of the ambiguity of the concept of representation and its claim to truth at the center
of his reflections. The contributions to this volume aim to shed light on how fruitful and
topical this perspective still is today from various perspectives. The contributions come from
authors of different disciplines  including political science  philosophy  and sociology. In
addition to a classification of the New Science of Politics in Voegelin's oeuvre as a whole 
the volume primarily inquires into the systematically interesting points of contact  which are
also of interest beyond Voegelin's reception.
