from Section Six - Continental Moral, Social, and Political Philosophy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 November 2019
Leo Strauss was one of the German émigrés who brought twentieth-century Continental philosophy to America when they fled Hitler in the 1930s. He spent most of his American career at two universities: the New School for Social Research and the University of Chicago. Although he had written several books in Europe prior to his arrival in America, his American writings brought him the most notice. His best-known book was Natural Right and History (1953), but he wrote many other notable works, including Thoughts on Machiavelli (1958) and The City and Man (1964). All of his works fit under the broad rubric of political philosophy.
