Voegelin on America, Part 2

(Steven Hayward) Last Sunday I mentioned appreciating Eric Voegelin's Autobiographical Reflections. Here's another passage that reinforces the point that America is superior to Europe in terms of philosophy and relevant thinking, based on his first extended visit to the U.S. in the early 1920s. (Voegelin could be pretty dense himself at times, but not here.) This literary work in which I assembled the results of the two American years does not, however,
