{"product_id":"leo-strauss-on-hegel-leo-strauss-9780226640686","title":"Leo Strauss on Hegel","description":"In the winter of 1965, Leo Strauss taught a seminar on Hegel at the University of Chicago. While Strauss neither considered himself a Hegelian nor wrote about Hegel at any length, his writings contain intriguing references to the philosopher, particularly in connection with his studies of Hobbes, in his debate in \u003ci\u003eOn Tyranny\u003c\/i\u003e with Alexandre Kojève; and in his account of the \"three waves\" of modern political philosophy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLeo Strauss on Hegel\u003c\/i\u003e reconstructs Strauss's seminar on Hegel, supplemented by passages from an earlier version of the seminar from which only fragments of a transcript remain. Strauss focused his seminar on the lectures collected in \u003ci\u003eThe Philosophy of History\u003c\/i\u003e, which he considered more accessible than Hegel's written works. In his own lectures on Hegel, Strauss continues his project of demonstrating how modern philosophers related to ancient thought and explores the development and weaknesses of modern political theory. Strauss is especially concerned with the relationship in Hegel between empirical history and his philosophy of history, and he argues for the primacy of religion in Hegel's understanding of history and society. In addition to a relatively complete transcript, \u003ci\u003eLeo Strauss on Hegel\u003c\/i\u003e also includes annotations, which bring context and clarity to the text. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leo Strauss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022664068X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226640686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.40d","brand":"Leo Strauss","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086420619519,"sku":"9780226640686","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e6630b3-acc9-4e92-b087-1009f9c5a816.jpg?v=1769094573","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leo-strauss-on-hegel-leo-strauss-9780226640686","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
