Description
Leo Strauss and the Recovery of Natural Philosophizing by Alberto Marco Giovanni Ghibellini explores how Leo Strauss sought to revive ancient philosophical inquiry. Strauss's approach aimed to counter relativism, but he focused on recovering the question of "nature," which he believed was essential to genuine philosophy since its inception in ancient Greece. This book examines the theoretical presuppositions that led to Strauss's inability to raise the question of nature. It delves into the encounter between philosophy and revelation, highlighting how this conceptual incompatibility resulted in a "second, 'unnatural' cave" characterized by insurmountable prejudices. To regain genuine philosophy, Strauss sought to deconstruct these presuppositions, reviving the natural philosophizing embodied by Socratic dialectics. By analyzing these theoretical foundations, Ghibellini sheds light on Strauss's attempt to revive ancient philosophical inquiry and its relevance to modern thought.
