Book Synopsis
Leo Strauss' What Is Political Philosophy? addresses almost every major theme in his life's work and is often viewed as a defense of his overall philosophic approach. Written by scholars well-known for their expertise on Strauss' thought, this book includes essays that apply to Strauss the same meticulous approach he developed in reading others.

Trade Review
"What is Political Philosophy? is Strauss's most comprehensive, and arguably most introductory, work. But the fact that each chapter focuses on key themes more fully elaborated elsewhere creates the need for a systematic supplementary text. With this collection of essays, the reader is afforded helpful guidance to the way each of the chapters relates to, illuminates, and is illuminated by other major treatments of the same themes by Strauss. The book will attract a broad readership among the many who are involved in or attentive to the ongoing debate over Strauss's controversial thought." (Thomas L. Pangle, University of Texas at Austin)"
