Adi Armon weaves together a close reading of unpublished seminars Strauss taught at the University of Chicago in the 1950s and 1960s with an interpretation of his later works, all of which were of course written against the backdrop of the Cold War. First, the book describes the intellectual environment that shaped the young Strauss? worldview in the Weimar Republic, tracing those aspects of his thought that changed and others that remained consistent up until his immigration to America. Armon then goes on to explore the centrality of Karl Marx to Strauss?s intellectual biography. By analyzing an unpublished seminar Strauss taught with Joseph Cropsey at the University of Chicago in 1960, Armon shows how Strauss? fragmentary, partial engagement with Marx in writing obscured the important role that Marxism actually played as an intellectual challenge to his later political thinking. Finally, the book explores the manifestations of Straussian doctrine in postwar America through reading Strauss? The City and Man (1964) as a representative of his political teaching. 606 $aPhilosophy$xHistory 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aHistory of Philosophy 606 $aPolitical Philosophy 606 $aPolitical Theory 615 0$aPhilosophy$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aHistory of Philosophy. 615 24$aPolitical Philosophy. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 676 $a180-190 676 $a191 700 $aArmon$b Adi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0884281 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349543503321 996 $aLeo Strauss Between Weimar and America$91974611 997 $aUNINA
