Welcome

to the Voegelin-Zentrum für Politik, Kultur und Religion

Geschwister Scholl Institute

Ludwig Maximilians University  Munich (Director PD Dr. Christian Schwaabe)

 

 

 

 

The main task of the Voegelin Center, to be furthered by research and teaching, is to deepen the scholarly understanding of the areas of politics, culture and religion. The Center emerged from the Eric Voegelin Archive founded in 1990 by Peter J. Opitz which became an important focal point for the growing internationally conducted research into the works and legacy of Eric Voegelin. The Center will continue to pursue two thematic goals:

 

First, it will build on the Archive’s successful work of research and translation. The results of the continuing and growing concern with the works of Eric Voegelin are published in the Archive’s “Voegeliniana” series and in the series “Periagogeof  the publishing house of Wilhelm Fink (Munich).

 

Second, the Center will concern itself intensely with the areas of politics, culture, and religion:

in the form of lectures and seminars for the students of the Geschwister-Scholl-Institute for Political Science at the University of Munich, through scholarly symposia and workshops, through co-operation with other university faculties, and in providing support for the research of young scholars.
