Eric Voegelin: "All Things Must Pass Away"

Eric Voegelin autobiographical lecture: On immortality Read the journal: https://voegelinview.com/ Twitter:   / voegelin_view   ------------------------------------------------------------------ The tranquility of a mature philosopher is apparent in this final segment. Voegelin begins: “Nothing lasts forever, and also the present polarization will pass away.” He describes the then current (and still today) “huge force of aggressive intellectual dishonesty” in the centers of academic and public influence. Today we must contend with what Alfred North Whitehead called “the climate of opinion.” He observes that the great discovery of classic philosophers was that man is not mortal, but a being engaged in a movment toward immortality. The same experience came through St. Paul and transformation through the Grace of God. But these discoveries injected a further tension into existence because not everyone is satisfied with organizing his life on the basis of a movement towards immortality, but instead prefers a shortcut–prefers certainty in this life. A philosophy of history must understand that history is not a process within this world but a process between temporal existence and the beyond. There is no fixed definition of the nature of man and history has no constant structure; rather, nature becomes luminous through time and we remain in spatio-temporal existence as the viator, the wanderer, the pilgrim toward eschatological fulfillment, but still a wandered in this world. ------------------------------------------------------------------ VoegelinView is the journal of the Eric Voegelin Society.
