Review:
"Daniel Tanguay's intellectual biography of Leo Strauss is the fullest and fairest analysis of Leo Strauss's thought available in any language."-Daniel J. Mahoney, Assumption College -- Daniel J. Mahoney "This may well be the best study of Leo Strauss yet to appear. It evokes a detailed account of Strauss the thinker rather than the icon of ideology and has something useful to say about all aspects of Strauss's work. Tanguay is especially helpful for his account of the Jewish and Arabic Strauss and the interplay of this side of Strauss's thinking with his understanding of the roots of modernity. I was struck by his observation that Strauss is not a conservative because he devalues convention in favor of nature. I recommend this book very highly."-Stanley Rosen -- Stanley Rosen "Tanguay's comprehensive and penetrating book explores Strauss's approach to the theologico-political problem... Admirably translated... Tanguay offers an intellectual biography in which Strauss's later works are repeatedly treated as refinements of earlier efforts."-The Review of Metaphysics The Review of Metaphysics
