Sommario/riassunto |

This collection by some of the leading scholars of Strauss'' work is the first devoted to Strauss'' thought regarding education. It seeks to address his conception of education as it applies to a range of his most important concepts, such as his views on the importance of revelation, his critique of modern democracy and the importance of modern classical education. |
