Leo Strauss's controversial writings have long exercised a profound subterranean cultural influence Now their impact is emerging into broad daylight, where they have been met with a flurry of poorly informed, often wildly speculative, and sometimes rather paranoid pronouncements This book, written as a corrective, is the first accurate, озарн non-polemical, comprehensive guide to Strauss's mature political philosophy and its intellectual influence Thomas L Pangle opens a pathway into Strauss's major works with one question: How does Strauss's philosophic thinking contribute to our democracy's civic renewal and to our culture's deepening, critical self-understanding? This book includes a synoptic critical survey of writings from scholars who have extended Strauss's influence into the more practical, sub-philosophic fields of social and political science and commentary Pangle shows how these analysts have in effect imported Straussian impulses into a "new" kind of political and social science.  254.8 кв.м.2006 г Мягкая обложка, 200 стр ISBN 0801884403.
