The Rebirth of Classical Political Rationalism: An Introduction to the Thought of Leo Strauss

The Rebirth of Classical Political Rationalism: An Introduction to the Thought of Leo Strauss by Leo Strauss. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780226777153.

This concise and accessible introduction to Strausss thought provides, for wider audience, a bridge to his more complex theoretical work. Editor Pangle has gathered five of Strausss previously unpublished lectures and five hard-to-find published writings and has arranged them so as to demonstrate the systematic progression of the major themes that underlay Strausss mature work. "[These essays] display the incomparable insight and remarkable range of knowledge that set Strausss works apart from any other twentieth-century philosophers."—Charles R. Kesler, National Review
