Leo Strauss on Political Philosophy

Responding to the Challenge of Positivism and Historicism

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the significance of political philosophy, the book compiles Leo Strauss's 1965 introductory lectures at the University of Chicago, aimed at making his complex ideas accessible. Strauss critiques contemporary challenges like positivism and historicism, arguing for the relevance of classical political thought in defining the common good. He explores the evolution of political philosophy, examining key figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Comte, and Kant, to assess whether modern skepticism about the "good society" is justified.
