{"product_id":"leo-strauss-3","title":"Leo Strauss","description":"Leo Strauss's controversial writings have long exercised a profound subterranean cultural influence. Now their impact is emerging into broad daylight, where they have been met with a flurry of poorly informed, often wildly speculative, and sometimes rather paranoid pronouncements.  This book, written as a corrective, is the first accurate, non-polemical, comprehensive guide to Strauss's mature political philosophy and its intellectual influence. Thomas L. Pangle opens a pathway into Strauss's major works with one question: How does Strauss's philosophic thinking contribute to our democracy's civic renewal and to our culture's deepening, critical self-understanding?  This book includes a synoptic critical survey of writings from scholars who have extended Strauss's influence into the more practical, sub-philosophic fields of social and political science and commentary. Pangle shows how these analysts have in effect imported Straussian impulses into a \"new\" kind of political and social science.","brand":"Johns Hopkins University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252517785944,"sku":"9780801884399","price":50.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780801884399.jpg?v=1764328537","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/leo-strauss-3","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
