Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]Strauss's entire intellectual project depends upon an elaborate theory of interpretation that discredits the commonplace or exoteric meaning of traditional works of western philosophy and emphasizes their esoteric significance.\n 59 However, while both ways of life are reasonable, there can only be one that is true. [...]Strauss's concept of speech is indistinguishable from rhetoric; it is greedy and covets recognition rather than striving for moral improvement.
