註釋

This study of Leo Strauss is an attempt to reconstruct his interpretation of the history of political thought in terms of his own unique appropriation of the meaning of the Jewish question. This question is the context that profoundly shaped and nourished his ideas, and within which Strauss became a political conservative and a philosophical skeptic. Specifically, I argue that Strauss's work amounts to a recovery of Western political thought as the encounter between competing notions of redemption - the Biblical and the philosophical, and that he ultimately conceived of this encounter as disclosing and articulating the unsettled and unsettling spiritual state of Western Civilization.
