Leo Strauss (b.1899)

Tonight, we delve into the timeless currents of thought flowing from the pen of Leo Strauss, a thinker who challenged the foundations of modern political philosophy by advocating a return to the ancient wisdom of Plato and Aristotle. In the hushed ambiance of contemplation, we explore how Natural Right and History presents a steadfast critique of relativism, asserting that the principles of natural rights hold eternal truths that address the moral and ethical crises of today. Through Persecution and the Art of Writing, we uncover the secretive layers woven into philosophical texts, a dance of concealment and revelation under the watchful eyes of authority. As the gentle sounds of the night cradle us, let Strauss guide us through the complex mosaic of ideas, where each thread leads to a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between the past and present in shaping our political landscapes.This episode is hosted by William Davis.
