“Leo Strauss on Plato’s ‘Euthyphro’ is a most valuable work of scholarship and it will prove to be of tremendous interest, and even indispensable, to scholars and students of political philosophy, religion, philosophy, and classics as a whole and of Leo Strauss and Plato in particular.”
—Peter Ahrensdorf,author of Homer and the Tradition of Political Philosophy: Encounters with Plato, Machiavelli, and Nietzsche
“Strauss’s notes on the Euthyphro, which have never been published, offer important insights into his thinking, and will make a splash in the world of Strauss studies. The excellent interpretive essays in the volume should draw attention in their own right.”
—Devin Stauffer,author of Hobbes's Kingdom of Light
“Characterised by meticulous scholarship of the highest order, this book is an important addition to our understanding of Plato’s Euthyphro, through the eyes of a preeminent philosopher.”
—Cliff Cunningham Sun News Austin
“This volume is the result of philological work of the highest quality and has the merit of offering materials undoubtedly of interest for both historical and philosophical purposes. Especially from the latter point of view the volume offers new elements useful in the construction of the argument in favor of philosophy in the dispute between Athens and Jerusalem.”
