Description

You can read the essay we discuss here.

Strauss’s essay “Relativism” from The Rebirth of Classical Political Rationalism appears to have 3 sections of unequal length.

* Paragraphs 1-14: On Isaiah Berlin’s “The Two Concepts of Liberty”

* Paragraphs 15-28: On Positivism (and Marxism)

* Paragraphs 29-33: On Existentialism; Nietzsche is the root and Heidegger the core

We will provide helpful reading notes in addition to the lecture / discussion here in the coming days.
