    Politics, Order and History: Essays on the Work of Eric Voegelin. [REVIEW]Christopher A. Decaen - 2002 - Review of Metaphysics 56 (2):425-426.
    As Stephen A. McKnight says in his introduction, this substantial collection of twenty-one original essays “explores the development of Eric Voegelin’s distinctive approach to politics and history from its early formulation in the 1930s to its culmination in the 1980s”.

    Spectacles of Truth in Classical Greek Philosophy. [REVIEW]Christopher A. Decaen - 2006 - Review of Metaphysics 59 (3):668-670.
    In spite of the subject matter, however, Nightingale takes pains to explain that she does not intend to be doing philosophy per se. She is not offering a “philosophical analysis” of the epistemology of Plato and Aristotle, but rather an investigation of “the foundational construction of theoretical philosophy in its intellectual and its cultural context”. Likewise, although she admits to exploring “the philosophical and historical ramifications” of Plato and Aristotle’s appropriation of theoria, Nightingale’s emphasis is more sociological and political than (...)
