This text reconstructs the ideas of three of the most important social and political theorists of the 20th century - Max Weber, Michel Foucault and Eric Voegelin - on the distant roots and sources of modernity. Drawing upon the conceptual tools of social theory and political philosophy, complimented by approaches based in the fields of anthropology, comparative mythology and the history of ancient philosophy, this book brings together the ideas of a group of social and political theorists whose work so far has remained largely unconnected. It should be of use for academics and advanced students concerned with social theory, political theory, sociology, history and philosophy.
