Description

Reading Leo Strauss: Politics, Philosophy, Judaism.

Steven Smith argues the published writings of German-born philosopher Leo Strauss are misread and that Leo Strauss would not embrace neoconservatism. The author alleges that Leo Strauss was not active in politics, never endorsed imperialism, and questioned political philosophies. In a discussion held in Wilmette, Illinois, he examines Leo Strauss' views on religion, philosophy and politics.

Steven Smith is a political science professor at Yale University. He has authored several books, including Spinoza, Liberalism, and Jewish Identity, Spinoza's Book of Life, and The Rescue: A True Story of Courage & Survival in World War II.
