Leo Strauss  

Definition(s)

  • Leo Strauss (1899–1973) was a German twentieth-century political philosopher whose writings continue to echo through present-day debates on modernity and its prospects. Lamenting the onslaught by liberal relativism on tradition, customs, and moral principle, Strauss emphasized the message of ancient political philosophy as a remedy for the wastefulness and nihilism characteristic of the modern era. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Political Science; Strauss, Leo]
