Leo Strauss
Leo Strauss is a German-American and classical political philosopher, specializing in classical political philosophy. Born in Germany to Jewish parents, Strauss later emigrated from Germany to the United States. He has spent most of his career as professor of political science at the University of Chicago, where he has taught generations of students and published fifteen books. Trained in the Neo-Kantian tradition with Ernst Cassirer and immersed in the work of phenomenologists Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, Strauss built his reputation with groundbreaking books on Spinoza and Hobbes, then are articles on Maimonides and Farabi. In the late 1930s, his research focused on the rediscovery of esoteric writing, thus a new enlightenment by Plato and Aristotle, seeking their interpretation through Islamic and Do philosophy. Medieval Thai theory at the same time encouraged the application of these ideas to contemporary political theory.
