This book explores the influence of Hannah Arendt's and Leo Strauss' background in pre-World War II Germany on their perception of American democracy. The contributors analyze how their émigré experience both influenced their American work and also impacted on the formation of the discipline of political science in postwar Germany. Arendt's and Strauss' experiences thus aptly illustrate the transfer and transformation of political ideas in the World War II era.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The significant contribution of Strauss and Arendt on postwar American political thought.
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2019
Intelligently and thoughtfully written. Horst Mewes has an unusual grasp of the two theorist’s often subtle ideas and philosophy. I highly recommend this insightful book for specialists in political theory or any general reader with an interest in the influence of Arendt and Strauss on modern political thought and policy.
