It is a splendid resource. For me the best part is Voegelin's
formal lecture which I plan to show to my students who will be
reading
The New Science of Politics
this semester.
Next to that, I found the debate over interpreting Plato
fascinating....I knew [Allan] Bloom and we had a friendly
relation....The DVD reminds me of how brilliant Bloom was....

I just received the DVD yesterday, and with impatience ran home
& watched the conference on
The Republic
and part of the (3rd)
film on reading & interpretation. Thank you for making this
available, it is indeed quite amazing to see all these
distinguished scholars together, with Voegelin, and to participate, in a
manner of speaking (at least for me, it was quite an exciting
discussion, having formed along the years a few strong opinions
on the various matters of Plato's Republic).
[Gadamer and Voegelin] obviously spent a lot of time close to the
Greek text, but it is a thorough philosophical view that actually
drives their deep understanding of the matters involved. . .
I intentionally
left the lecture on Consciousness as the cherry on the topping,
"pour la bonne bouche" as the French expression goes. I'll
probably spend much of this weekend watching the DVD and
"digesting it". This is what the good life is all about...

The DVD of Voegelin in Toronto has arrived. I find I can only take
it in snippets, it is like drinking very fine whiskey. Reading
along with the text of Voegelin's lecture and pausing the DVD to
reflect is a like a rich, multi-course feast.
