Leo Strauss on Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra
The Encounter of Faith and Reason in the Western Tradition and Its Significance Today
This article is a transcription of a lecture on faith and reason that was delivered by Alexander Altmann at the University of Chicago in 1961, preserved in a tape recording and recently discovered by the editor. Altmann’s lecture is a far-reaching discussion of the interrelationship between faith and reason in Western thought, explored from a range of vantage points: philosophical, theological, and historical. The article also contains a brief in…
A obra mais importante escrita por um heideggeriano
Tradução das cartas trocadas entre Leo Strauss e Hans-Georg Gadamer, em 1961, sobre a publicação de Verdade e método, que data de 1960. Com apresentação de Felipe Ribeiro
Le droit naturel
Le problème du droit naturel est un problème philosophique et non un problème historique. Mais aujourd'hui, afin de réfléchir à une discussion philosophique du droit naturel, nous devons nous engager dans des études historiques. La critique contemporaine du droit naturel est simplement une répétition de la vieille critique du droit naturel, selon laquelle toutes les notions de justice ou de moralité sont conventionnelles. Le droit naturel moderne…
Persecution and the Art of Writing
[originally published in Volume 8, No. 4] EXCERPT: "In a considerable number of countries which, for about a hundred years, have enjoyed a practically complete freedom of public discussion, that freedom is now suppressed and replaced by a compulsion to coordinate speech with such views as the government believes to be expedient, or holds in all seriousness. It may be worth our while to consider briefly the effect of that compulsion, or persecutio…

The Concept of the Political
In this, his most influential work, legal theorist and political philosopher Carl Schmitt argues that liberalism's basis in individual rights cannot provide a reasonable justification for sacrificing one-self for the state - a critique as cogent today as when it first appeared. George Schwab's introduction to his translation of the 1932 German edition highlights Schmitt's intellectual journey through the turbulent period of German history leading…

Strauss, datant de fevrier a mai 1961, a propos de la theorie de l'experience hermeneutique de l'interprete developpee par le premier dans «Verite et methode».

Le nihilisme allemand
Publication de la traduction francaise de la conference inedite sur le nihilisme allemand que Leo Strauss a donnee le 26 fevrier 1941 a la New School for Social Research de New-York. Reflechissant sur l'enigme historique du nazisme et sur l'emergence du mal, l'A. met en lumiere le motif non-nihiliste du nihilisme qui consiste en une protestation morale contre la civilisation moderne, d'une part, et examine le contexte emotionnel de la jeunesse an…

On the Interpretation of Genesis
I want to begin with the remark that I am not a biblical scholar; I am a political scientist specializing in political theory. Political the ory is frequently said to be concerned with the values of the Western world. These values, as is well-known, are partly of biblical and partly of Greek origin. The political theorist must, therefore, have an inkling of the agreement as well as the disagreement between the bib lical and the Greek heritage. Ev…

The City and Man
The City and Man consists of provocative essays by the late Leo Strauss on Aristotle's Politics, Plato's Republic, and Thucydides' Peloponnesian Wars. Together, the essays constitute a brilliant attempt to use classical political philosophy as a means of liberating modern political philosophy from the stranglehold of ideology. The essays are based on a long and intimate familiarity with the works, but the essay on Aristotle is especially importan…

Natural Right and the Historical Approach
The attack on natural right in the name of history takes in most cases the following form: natural right claims to be a right that is discernible by human reason and is universally acknowledged; but history (including anthropology) teaches us that no such right exists; instead of the supposed uniformity we find an indefinite variety of notions of right or justice. Or, in other words, there cannot be natural right if there are no immutable princip…

The present article is meant to prepare such an understanding.I. The Prince combines the characteristics of a treatise and a tract for the times.Let us begin at the beginning. In the Epistle Dedicatory Machiavelli gives three indications of the subject-matter of t…
