Voegelin and Husserl on History

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Voegelin and Husserl on History: An Addendum Eric Voegelin wrote a long letter to Alfred Schütz about Husserl’s philosophy of history; I discuss this letter and some if its ramifications. Husserl as an arch-rationalist and Voegelin, interested as he was in politics, mythology, and symbols, diverged on the role of reason in history; their distinctively different perspectives give us a unique lens for viewing the relationship to rationality to history.
