A scintillating but scholarly guide to the thinking of Leo Strauss that situates his thought in the context of National Socialism. By destroying any middle ground between Athens and Jerusalem, Strauss skillfully undermined modernity’s secular bulwark against political theology. Once National Socialism is understood as an atheistic religion re-enacted by post-Revelation philosophers, the German avatar of Plato’s Athenian Stranger can be recognized as its principal theoretician

English | 2012 | pages: 290 | ISBN: 1442217111 | EPUB | 7,4 mb
"Leo Strauss (1899-1973) was the greatest mind in political philosophy in the twentieth century, and possibly in other centuries as well. That, I am well aware, is a judgment I share with very few, if any." So writes Harry V. Jaffa in his epilogue to this volume. Including an extensive unpublished essay entitled "Straussian Geography: A Memoir and Commentary," Crisis of the Strauss Divided brings together a collection of Jaffa’s published arguments defending and explaining that judgment, written during the 40 years since Strauss’s death. The volume includes arguments of those who have disagreed with Jaffa about Strauss’s teaching and about the nature of political philosophy. These wide ranging exchanges explore many of the great themes of political philosophy and, in particular, the implications of Strauss’s thinking for America and modern civilization.

Leo Strauss and Emmanuel Levinas


Free Download Leo Strauss and Emmanuel Levinas By Batnitzky, Leora
2006 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 052186156X | PDF | 3 MB
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.
