Abstract:
Examines the complex philosophical relationship between Martin Heidegger and Leo Strauss. This book argues that both thinkers provide searching analyses of the philosophical tradition's origins in radical questioning. It offers a profound consideration of these two philosophers' reflections on the roots, meaning, and fate of Western rationalism.

Publisher Synopsis
"In brilliant fashion Velkley lays out a reading of Heidegger and Strauss that acknowledges the centrality of this neglected conversation to contemporary political thinking. Moreover, he makes a case for attending to the dynamics of this conversation as a radical questioning concerning the origins of the human situation within the 'cave' of political life. Heidegger, Strauss, and the Premises of Philosophy offers a fresh, bold approach to timely philosophical questions and does so with equanimity and grace." (Charles Bambach, University of Texas, Dallas)" Read more...
