Abstract
Throughout this study, I have attempted to elicit and unravel the political ideas of Leo Strauss from the midst of his many detailed commentaries on the history of Western political thought. In this chapter, I should like to make a few comments about the status of my interpretation of Strauss, in the light of recent controversies among his own followers.
