Eric Voegelin discusses the probems of civilization and empire which led to his rethinking of the major units that make up history and led to his writing of The Ecumenic Age. He considers the shortcomings in Arnold Toynbee’s earlier work and lists as the three principle characteristics to be the spiritual outbursts (à la Jaspers), the concupiscential outbursts of the empires, and the development of historiography in which the destruction is weighed against the new understanding of existential order.
He notes that dominant ideologies in the U.S. will not last because the pressure of reality cannot be resisted forever. The exclusion of existential order from public consciousness will come to an end. Finally, he offers two predictions. The first is the collapse of the Soviet Union because of the tenacity of cultural ethnicity of non-Russian peoples in the face of cultral destruction.(This was 1973.) The other is a prediction that America will be transformed into a different society while absorbing its immigrant populations.
