Abstract
From the perspective of political science and the history of ideas, this article is dedicated to an examination of the “Fourth Turning” theory of crisis that William Strauss and Neil Howe have outlined on the basis of their generational research. In the process, the mythical roots of the cyclical philosophy of history are explored. In addition, the question is raised to what extent the structures of modern political crisis cycles actually show analogies to the traditional archetypes of myth.
Eric Voegelin-Studies: Supplements offers an ideal forum to further elaborate on specific aspects of the contributions in the Yearbook. This creates scope for smaller or larger monographs as well as publications by several authors. The Supplements are conceived as an international and interdisciplinary project. They are intended to expand scholarly exchange and international collaboration on Voegelin’s work.
