Articles by Leo Strauss
Přirozené právo a dějiny
O knize Přirozené právo a dějiny Ve svém nejznámějším díle Přirozené právo a dějiny Leo Strauss popisuje a hodnotí důvody, které vedly k odmítnutí přirozeného práva. Vysvětluje důsledky tohoto odmítnutí i to, proč argumenty proti přirozenému právu nejsou platné. Těm, kdo ho odmítli ve jménu bezbřehé tolerance, připomíná paradox jejich volby. Podle něj pak totiž platí, že „čím více vzděláváme rozum, tím více vzděláváme nihilismus“.

What Is Liberal Education? By Leo Strauss
You have acquired a liberal education. I congratulate you on your achievement. If I were entitled to do so, I would praise you for your achievement. But I would be untrue to the obligation which I have undertaken if I did not supplement my congratulations with a warning. The liberal education which you have acquired will avert the danger that the warning will be understood as a counsel of despair. Liberal education is education in culture or toward culture.

The convention of selecting a man of the year, decade, or century is one of the more annoying features of the modern age. But one has to live in one's time. And in this case, we are happy to observe the convention, because it offers us the occasion to honor what deserves to be honored, and to recall what deserves to be recalled. Winston Churchill is the man of our century.
The best books on Liberty and Morality
You’ve started with a very prominent name in modern conservatism that oddly has not appeared on anyone else’s list, Leo Strauss. Why Strauss and his 1968 book, Liberalism Ancient and Modern? Strauss because he is, I believe, one of our most instructive thinkers and commentators on the history of political philosophy – ancient, medieval and modern. This particular book because it contains some of his most accessible essays.
