Strauss regarded the study of Hobbes as essential to an adequate understanding of modernity and to his effort to reopen the quarrel between the ancients and the moderns. In his discussion of Hobbes in chapter seven of What Is Political Philosophy?, Strauss takes up the question of the relationship between Hobbes's political science and his natural science. Although he argues that Hobbes's political science should not be understood as derivative from his natural science, Strauss suggests that there is a relationship between the two. This essay examines Strauss's intentionally incomplete answers to the question of what that relationship is
