Produktbeschreibung
Strauss sees historicism as what, in some respects, has sadly come to crystallize the sidelining of the transcendent from the reality of human affairs. Convinced that political philosophy is a search for the best political regime or the overcoming of the actuality or the historical-temporal horizon, Strauss categorically rejects this gesture of historicism. Strauss' philosophical gesture is inscribed in the metahistorical and transcendent horizon. The analysis that Sylvain Kambala offers us is a faithful reading of a well-defined selection of Strauss's texts based on his hypothesis of contemporary historicism as a major opponent of political philosophy. This position is explained within the framework of a polarity between the Ancients (Plato and a certain vision of political philosophy) and the Moderns (the abandonment of Platonic philosophy by a whole modernity staged by Strauss as a history of decline). The book is devoted to the presentation and critique of historicism in order to achieve a recovery of the authentic political philosophy advocated by Strauss.
