This provocative book examines Strauss's ideas and the ways in which they have been appropriated, or misappropriated, by senior policymakers.\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Anne Norton, a political theorist trained by some of Strauss's most famous students, is well equipped to write on Strauss and Straussians. She tells three interwoven narratives: the story of Leo Strauss, a Jewish German-born  migr , who carried European philosophy into a new world; the story of the philosophic lineage that came from Leo Strauss; and the story of how America has been made a moral battleground by the likes of Paul Wolfowitz, Leon Kass, Carnes Lord, and Irving Kristol--Straussian conservatives committed to an American imperialism they believe will usher in a new world order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Norton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300109733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300109733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.69d","brand":"Anne Norton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913591292159,"sku":"9780300109733","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_66425632-8026-42f9-8dae-dfca8092e785.jpg?v=1680621239","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leo-strauss-and-the-politics-anne-norton-9780300109733","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
