Leo Strauss’ Platonism and the Neo-conservative Reception
Abstract
The reception of Platonic thought becomes a key element in the context of reconfiguration of “great stories”, as it is one of the axes on which a series of works are structured around the understanding of our time. In this paper I intend to show that the recovery of Platonic thinking in the context of contemporary political debates establishes a disarticulation of “Platonic political logic”. For this, I analyze the rehabilitation of Platonic thinking by Leo Strauss and his construction of “Platonism”.
