Book Synopsis
Takes on the crucial task of separating what is truly important in the work of Leo Strauss from the ephemeral politics associated with his school. This title shows that Strauss' famous distinction between ancient and modern thinkers is primarily rhetorical, one of the great examples of Strauss' own exoteric craft.

Trade Review
"The Enduring Importance of Leo Strauss offers a major and provocative contribution to Strauss scholarship, but this is not the most important thing it offers. Laurence Lampert makes a persuasive case for the 'new history of philosophy,' which invites us to radically rethink the whole 'tradition.'" (David Janssens, Tilburg University)"
