The first book-length analysis of Xenephon's most important work, which Pangle argues presents Socratic thought more accurately than any of Plato's works.

This concise and accessible introduction to Strauss's thought provides, for wider audience, a bridge to his more complex theoretical work. Editor Pangle has gathered five of Strauss's previously unpublished lectures and five hard-to-find published writings and has arranged them so as to demonstrate the systematic progression of the major themes that underlay Strauss's mature work."[These essays] display the incomparable insight and remarkable range of knowledge that set Strauss's works apart from any other twentieth-century philosopher's."—Charles R. Kesler, National Review

Exploring the intersection of rationalist political philosophy and faith-based political theology, this work by Thomas L. Pangle delves into the foundational chapters of Genesis. It contrasts modern rationalist interpretations by thinkers like Hobbes and Spinoza with insights from the Socratic tradition and medieval theologians across Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Through a rich dialogue with historical and contemporary political theologians, the book offers profound insights into the complex relationship between religious faith and philosophical reasoning, appealing to scholars and thoughtful readers alike.

Pangle shows how these analysts have in effect imported Straussian impulses into a newkind of political and social science.

"Thomas Pangle continues his exploration of the work of Xenophon, a student of Socrates and a historian, who wrote about Socrates, the man, his ideas, and their reception in Athens. In a sequel to his earlier account of Xenophon's 'Memorabilia', this book takes up the three remaining works of Xenophon, which were devoted to memorializing his teacher Socrates : 'the Oeconomicus', 'the Symposium', and 'the Apology of Socrates to the Jury'. As Pangle puts it, the question that is the theme of these works is which of the two distinct ways of life and human character types - that of the Socratic political philosopher with his philosophic virtues, or that of the gentleman with his civic and moral virtues - is superior, standing as the highest standard for all human existence."-- Provided by publisher
