William Holden and Don Taylor star in this classic Second World War
drama directed by Billy Wilder. After two American prisoners are
killed trying to escape from the notorious German camp Stalag 17,
the blame for their betrayal falls upon the cynical, self-serving
Sergeant Sefton (Holden), whose dealings with the enemy isolate him
from his fellow inmates. But does Sefton's disinterest in team
bonding and group morale necessarily mean he is the traitor in
their midst?
Although Leo Strauss published little on Nietzsche, his lectures
and correspondence demonstrate a deep critical engagement with
Nietzsche's thought. One of the richest contributions is a seminar
on Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, taught in 1959 during
Strauss's tenure at the University of Chicago. In the lectures,
Strauss draws important parallels between Nietzsche's most
important project and his own ongoing efforts to restore classical
political philosophy. With Leo Strauss on Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke
Zarathustra," eminent Strauss scholar Richard L. Velkley presents
Strauss's lectures on Zarathustra with superb annotations that
bring context and clarity to the critical role played by Nietzsche
in shaping Strauss's thought. In addition to the broad relationship
between Nietzsche and political philosophy, Strauss adeptly guides
readers through Heidegger's confrontations with Nietzsche, laying
out Heidegger's critique of Nietzsche's "will to power" while also
showing how Heidegger can be read as a foil for his own reading of
Nietzsche. The lectures also shed light on the relationship between
Heidegger and Strauss, as both philosophers saw Nietzsche as a
central figure for understanding the crisis of philosophy and
Western civilization. Strauss's reading of Nietzsche is one of the
important-yet little appreciated-philosophical inquiries of the
past century, both an original interpretation of Nietzsche's
thought and a deep engagement with the core problems that modernity
posed for political philosophy. It will be welcomed by anyone
interested in the work of either philosopher.
