| 1. |  | The Guide of the Perplexed, Vol. 1 from University Of Chicago Press Price: $18.48 Customer Review:  This English translation--is it directly from the Hebaic-Arabic of the 12 century or is it from the translation into Hebrew during RAMBAM's lifetime or later translation into Hebrew? |

| 3. |  | History of Political Philosophy from University Of Chicago Press Price: $24.31 Customer Review: This is the best philosophy (not just political) overview I have found. The essays for each philosopher are several pages long and cover all aspects of the philosopher's thought. I have owned this book for years, and I still find myself going back to it over any other philosophy book. |

| 4. |  | Natural Right and History (Walgreen Foundation Lectures) from University Of Chicago Press Price: $14.28 Customer Review:  Basically, in the first third of the book Strauss lays down what Strauss takes to be an unbeatable case against natural rights. Strauss is, of course, opposed to all that is classic and the supposed classicism of Strauss is only a cover. Strauss' argument against natural rights is that natural... |

| 5. |  | The City and Man from University Of Chicago Press Price: $15.30 Customer Review:  "The City and Man" consists of three lectures by the famed -- and controversial -- political theorist Leo Strauss: he offers commentaries on Aristotle's "Politics," on Plato's "Republic," and on Thucydides' "History of the Peloponnesian War." Strauss, who was during his life an obscure professor... |

| 6. |  | Persecution and the Art of Writing from University Of Chicago Press Price: $17.10 Customer Review: This book is absolutely central within the body of Leo Strauss's work. It stands as the culmination of his earliest work and the beginning of his middle phase of work (which most readers and commentators seem to focus on). Leo Strauss started his philosophical career directly confronted with... |

| 7. |  | On Tyranny from University Of Chicago Press Price: $19.80 Customer Review: This book is composed of a translation of Xenophon's Hiero, a commentary by Leo Strauss ('On Tyranny') on it, two essays (one by Kojève, one by Strauss) outlining the controversy between them and finally, in the latest edition, the correspondence between them. After reading the essays... |

| 8. |  | Liberalism Ancient and Modern from University Of Chicago Press Price: $20.70 Customer Review: There are no analyses of ancient philosophy in this book. There can't be because philosophy to Strauss is a sham and to boot Strauss is here practicing secret writing. Philosophy according to Strauss doesn't make sense because it can't make sense. Strauss' 'philosopher' sees this and tries to hide... |

| 9. |  | What is Political Philosophy? And Other Studies from University Of Chicago Press Price: $19.80 Customer Review: For an author who is most often despised, and occasionally revered, one is surprised on how little consensus there is on what Leo Strauss actually thought. In this brief review I would like to give the prospective reader a little taste of the great enigma that is Leo Strauss. The difficulty is... |

| 10. |  | An Introduction to Political Philosophy: Ten Essays (Culture of Jewish Modernity) from Wayne State Univ Pr Price: $24.25 Customer Review: this would be a good choice. This edition of this book contains ten essays that introduce the reader to the main themes of the Straussian approach to political philosophy. My only caveat is for people who have already read some other books by Strauss or who plan to- most of what is contained... |

| 11. |  | Thoughts on Machiavelli from University Of Chicago Press Price: $20.70 Customer Review: The centrality of Thoughts on Machiavelli within Strauss' work cannot be overemphasized. During his lifetime (by my count), Leo Strauss published some 14 or 15 books (depending on whether you count The History of Political Philosophy). Thoughts on Machiavelli was published in 1958. It had been... |

| 12. |  | The Rebirth of Classical Political Rationalism: An Introduction to the Thought of Leo Strauss from University Of Chicago Press Price: $17.10 Customer Review: From back cover: "Few thinkers of the 20th C have had so controversial an impact as Leo Strauss. In recent years, as the power and influence of his thought have become more widely recognized, both the meaning and the intention of Strauss's philosophic enterprise have come to be debated with... |

| 14. |  | The Argument and the Action of Plato's Laws from University Of Chicago Press Price: $22.50 Customer Review: This commentary works step by step through to move through the text of the Laws, pointing out connections between ideas and making observations regarding curious notions as they appear in the work. Strauss does a good job of making some sense of many inconsistencies as they appear by the (at-times)... |

| 15. |  | Leo Strauss On Plato's Symposium from University Of Chicago Press Price: $17.10 Customer Review: The sad thing is that today many people use the word "Neo-Con" as some sort of movement that involves George Bush. The sad thing is that 95% of the world that uses the word "Neo-Con" has never read a book by Dr. Leo Strauss. What ever your view on Neo-Cons, its important to hear it from the horses... |

| 16. |  | The Political Philosophy of Hobbes: Its Basis and Its Genesis (Phoenix Books) from University Of Chicago Press Price: $16.20 Customer Review: I just want to note that quotations from Latin in this book are left untranslated so if you are not familiar with this language, a scholarly reading may require additonal work on your part. |

| 17. |  | Spinoza's Critique of Religion from University Of Chicago Press Price: $24.30 Customer Review: Leo Strauss, intellectual godfather of neoconservativism and intellectual bogeyman of the postmodern left, is always sure to provoke thought in his readers. Here, in one of his earliest works, he takes on Spinoza's Theologico-Political Treatise, the very root of the enlightenment critique of... |

| 18. |  | Studies in Platonic Political Philosophy from University Of Chicago Press Price: $24.75 Customer Review: The Nietzsche-Beyond Good and Evil essay is worth it alone; absolutely brilliant, finally someone savvy to the Plato connection in his thought. |

| 19. |  | Socrates and Aristophanes from University Of Chicago Press Price: $24.30 Customer Review: While the introduction, conclusion and first essay (on "Clouds") is apparently anchored in an argument between philosophy and poetry, the further Strauss leaves "Clouds" behind, the more we see through his close reading of the plays, in a way we never do from the younger Plato, the cultural... |

| 22. |  | Religion of Reason: Out of the Sources of Judaism (American Academy of Religion Texts and Translations Series) from An American Academy of Religion Book Price: $85.00 Customer Review: If you know absolutely nothing about Judaism, you will not get much out of this book. The best way to understand Judaism is to read Book Five of the TORAH a number of times, allowing yourself to forget any Christian preconceptions. Why, for instance, did the Chief Rabbi of Israel rule that a... |

Each of the essays are gems in themselves. The introduction to the book by Kenneth Hart Green is particularly enlightening and is a penetrating overview of Strauss' approach to Judaism. In fact, the book... |

| 25. | [no image] | The Political Philosophy of Hobbes from The University of Chicago Press Customer Review: Leo Strauss, in his first printed work, does a superb job of distilling Hobbes essential ideas on man. By showing us the educational background of Hobbes and the philosopher's he read Strauss shows how Hobbes comes to believe that "man acts out of fear of death." The preservation of life is the... |

| 26. | [no image] | HISTORY OF POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY from Rand McNally Customer Review: Leo Strauss' and Joseph Cropsey's "History of Political Philosophy" is a great way to start learning about "Western political philosophy." The essays, which describe the Greek classical philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, are especially lucid and well written. Not surprising since... |
