Description
Toward "Natural Right and History": Lectures and Essays by Leo Strauss, 1937-1946 is a collection of six lectures and a full transcript of the 1949 Walgreen Lectures. In these works, Leo Strauss explores natural right and its relationship to modern philosophers and ancient Greek thought, as well as the connection between political philosophy and contemporary politics. Strauss's ideas on natural right are presented in a thematic order that mirrors his later work, Natural Right and History. The book includes interpretive essays by various scholars that establish the relation of these lectures to Strauss's more mature work. This edition also features copious annotations and notes to facilitate further study. Published for the first time in book form, this collection provides insight into Strauss's development as a thinker on natural right and its significance in modern political philosophy.
