Description:

This volume of lectures was first given as a course in 1959 under the title "Plato's Political Philosophy". These lectures, previously unpublished, have been passed down from one generation of students to the next and show Strauss at his insightful best.

Synopsis:

The first major piece of unpublished work by Leo Strauss to appear in more than 30 years, this volume offers the public the unprecedented experience of encountering this renowned scholar as his students did. Given as a course in autumn 1959 under the title "Plato's Political Philosophy" these provocative lectures - until now, never published, but instead passed down from one generation of students to the next - show Strauss at his subtle and insightful best.
