An Analysis Of Strauss's Conservative Political Philosoph

Leo Strauss as an American political philosopher,starting from his criticism of modernity,pointed out that "the crisis of modernity" and "the crisis of Western civilization" are both "the crisis of political philosophy".Political philosophy has been gradually marginalized through the tide of modernity,which is the result of the continuous politicization of political philosophy.Through the interpretation of his works What is Political Philosophy and Natural Rights and History,it can be found that he advocates a return to "Socratic-Platonic" political philosophy after tracing the source of political philosophy.Based on this,it puts forward a series of methods to solve the crisis of political philosophy,such as " philosophical life is the highest theme of political life","Esoteric teaching" "Exoteric teaching" and "liberal education".Strauss’ s research on classical political philosophy has an important influence on the current political philosophy and even the whole field of philosophy.His political philosophy has certain positive significance,and his position is very important in the academic field and the political field.His ideas provide theoretical basis for the continuation of conservative political philosophy.
