Leo Strauss and Emmanuel Levinas, two twentieth-century Jewish
philosophers and two extremely provocative thinkers whose
reputations have grown considerably, are rarely studied together.
This is due to the disparate interests of many of their
intellectual heirs. Strauss has influenced political theorists and
policy makers on the right while Levinas has been championed in the
humanities by different cadres associated with postmodernist
thought. In Leo Strauss and Emmanuel Levinas: Philosophy and the
Politics of Revelation, first published in 2006, Leora Batnitzky
brings together these two seemingly incongruous contemporaries,
demonstrating that they often had the same philosophical sources
and their projects had many formal parallels. While such a
comparison is valuable in itself for better understanding each
figure, it also raises profound questions in the debate on the
definitions of 'religion', suggesting ways that religion makes
claims on both philosophy and politics.
