Boas Leituras 2

Para quem tiver tempo e dinheiro sobrando, vão algumas sugestões:

1)The Collected Works of Eric Voegelin

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. The Collected Works of Eric Voegelin will make available in a uniform edition all of Voegelin's major writings. In some thirty-four volumes the Collected Works will include the monumental, never-before-published History of Political Ideas; important published essays not previously collected in book form or published only in German; previously unpublished essays; selected correspondence; translations of seven books, four of them never before available in English; and the five-volume Order and History.

Pensamento Universal

A injustiça e a mentira sempre farão parte da história humana (e sob governos socialistas elas tendem a aumentar consideravelmente...).Blaise Pascal captou essa constante e a transformou em belas palavras:

Pensée 864 - "La verité est si obscurcie en ce temps, et le mensonge si établi, qu'à moins que d'aimer la vérité , on ne saurait la connaître."

"A verdade está tão obscurecida nestes tempos e a mentira tão assentada, que, a menos que se ame a verdade, já não é possível reconhecê-la."
