Religious experience and political orden. The Eric Voegelin’s Proposal

  • José María Carabante Universidad Complutense de Madrid
Keywords: Eric Voegelin, Transcendence, Consciousness

Abstract

This article tries to explain the philosophical conception of Eric Voegelin, one of the main political theorists of 20th century, and to clarify what role plays the experience of transcendence. Philosophy is born with it, but this experience also determines the spiritual and social order. What will be argued is the voegeliniana philosophy is an original and novel point of view that can open up unexplored ways of deepening in the philosophy of religion, helping to clarify its gnoseological status with its peculiar notion of consciousness.
