Eric Voegelin: Intellectuals Changing the Meaning of Words

Eric Voegelin autobiographical lecture: Intellectuals and Language Read the journal: https://voegelinview.com/ Twitter:   / voegelin_view   ------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Voegelin shows how intellectual fraud works. Intellectuals construct a “second reality,” as described in the 20th century novels of Robert Musil and Heimito von Doderer, whose characters live in a state of alienation, who refuse to “apperceive” reality. The mass disorientation of our time, alienation, was recognized long ago by the stoics. They called it allotriosis. They understood mental disease to result from the turning away, the apostrophe, from the ground of being (God). Voegelin developed the idea of propositional metaphysics to describe the loss of contact with underlying experiences, and later the ideologies of the last four centuries. The latter are fake systems which exclude some essential part of reality, almost always involving a turning away from the ground towards a self which is imagined to be human without its relation to the Divine presence. In our time this has lead to secondary symptoms like the undisciplined expansion of the passions. ------------------------------------------------------------------ VoegelinView is the journal of the Eric Voegelin Society.
