Reading Leo Strauss Politics, Philosophy, Judaism Steven B. Smith Why Strauss, Why Now? Strauss was a towering presence … who neither sought nor had any discernible influence on what passes for the politics of the group. —Joseph Cropsey, “Leo Strauss at the University of Chicago” Who was Leo Strauss? Strauss was a German-Jewish émigré, the product of the pre–World War I Gymnasium who studied at several universities, finally taking his doctorate at Hamburg in 1921. He was a research assistant at an institute for Jewish research in Berlin before leaving Germany in 1932 to settle first in England and later in the United States, where he taught principally at the New School for Social Research in New York and later the University of Chicago. It was during his period in Chicago that Strauss had his greatest influence. He was, by most accounts, a compelling teacher, and like all good teachers everywhere he attracted students, many of whom came to regard themselves as part of a distinctive school. By the time of his death in 1973 Strauss had written (depending on how one counts them) more than a dozen books and around one hundred articles and reviews.

Was its source in Plato’s artful use of the Socratic dialogue to convey various meanings to different readers without actually speaking in his own name?
