Leo Strauss: An Introduction to His Thought and Intellectual Legacy (The Johns Hopkins Series in Constitutional Thought)
It is both welcome and timely that a scholar of the stature of Thomas Pangle should address this subject and treat the topic in a detached and philosophical spirit. Not only is he one of the most accomplished political theorists in the world today, but he is also a leading student of the thought of Leo Strauss. The book, first and foremost an introduction to the political philosophy of Leo Strauss focusing on larger themes and questions, is readable and accessible to a general, higher-level intellectual audience.(James W. Ceaser, University of Virginia, author ofPresidential Selection, Reforming Reforms, Liberal Democracy and Political Science,andReconstructing America)Pangle... brings to his task the remarkable erudition, and his volume may be said to have succeeded in restoring, and perhaps even deepening, the more sober view of Strauss's intention that prevailed in his lifetime and for a decade or so after death.(Steven J. LenznerClaremont Review of Books)Pangle's bibliography at the end alone is worth the price of the book.(Benjamin WikerCrisis Magazine)
