Leo Strauss's controversial writings have long exercised a profound
subterranean cultural influence. Now their impact is emerging into
broad daylight, where they have been met with a flurry of poorly
informed, often wildly speculative, and sometimes rather paranoid
pronouncements.
This book, written as a corrective, is the first accurate,
non-polemical, comprehensive guide to Strauss's mature political
philosophy and its intellectual influence. Thomas L. Pangle opens a
pathway into Strauss's major works with one question: How does
Strauss's philosophic thinking contribute to our democracy's civic
renewal and to our culture's deepening, critical
self-understanding?
This book includes a synoptic critical survey of writings from
scholars who have extended Strauss's influence into the more
practical, sub-philosophic fields of social and political science
and commentary. Pangle shows how these analysts have in effect
imported Straussian impulses into a "new" kind of political and
social science.
