Book Description

Publication Date: 1995 | ISBN-10: 084768010X | ISBN-13: 978-0847680108

Leo Strauss dedicated his life to rejuvenating the serious study of political philosophy. But those who study his writings are at odds on the question of what he thought about revelation. By applying Strauss's own principles of analysis to his pivotal essay 'Jerusalem and Athens: Some Preliminary Reflections,' Susan Orr reveals that Strauss's understanding of religion, contrary to what previous scholars have maintained, was more than simply political.

Editorial Reviews

Review

a model of scholarly excellence . . . a landmark work, opening a path to a better understanding, not only of Strauss, but of that justice and righteousness that were his ultimate concern. (Jaffa, Harry V. )

Anyone interested in Strauss, modern Jewish thought, or both, will be greatly enriched by this book. (Novak, David )

Lucid, careful, scholarly and engaging . . . A superbly nuanced discussion of Strauss's philosophical way of reading. (Deutsch, Kenneth L. )
