Hardback. Condizione: New. Leo Strauss's lifelong intellectual mission was to recover 'classical rationalism', a pursuit that has made him a controversial figure to this day. While his critics see him as responsible for a troubling anti-democratic strain in modern politics, others argue that his thought is in fact the best defence of responsible democracy. Neil Robertson's new introduction to Strauss aims to transcend these divides and present a non-partisan account of his thought. He shows how Strauss' intellectual formation in Weimar Germany and flight from Nazism led him to develop a critique of modernity that tended to support a conservative politics, while embracing a radical sense of what philosophy is and can be.
