Strauss and Social Science

After the “Strauss wars”

“…11 It is, after all, possible to be "a friend and defender of liberal democracy without being a liberal democrat." 12 As Timothy Fuller emphasises, "those who think that Strauss, insofar as he was not wholly attached to the liberal democratic tradition, must therefore have been attached to some earthly alternative that he, secretly or otherwise, advocated, have misunderstood him." One can think "beyond" liberal democracy without a specific "project for an alternative regime in mind."…”
