Description

Liberal democratic thought in the 20th century is composed of two strands: the classical, which emphasizes human excellence, and the modern, which emphasizes individual freedom and social equality. In these essays, Strauss examines the ambiguous relationship between these tendencies, seeking to illuminate the democratic discourse.
