Strauss Against Machiavelli: The philosopher
Abstract
This article studies the relationship between philosophy and city in the works of Strauss and Machiavelli. It begins analyzing the Straussian interpretation of Machiavelli, without questioning its correctness. Two ways of understanding this relationship are compared: the Strauss’s way, according to which the Truth should be accessible only to few, and the republican way, for which the Truth should be accessible to all.
