Leo Strauss (1899–1973) was one of the preeminent political philosophers of the twentieth century. From 1949 to 1968, he was professor of political science at the University of Chicago. He authored numerous books, including The Political Philosophy of Hobbes, Natural Right and History, and Spinoza’s Critique of Religion, among others.
This monument of rabbinical exegesis, written at the end of twelfth century, has exerted an immense and continuing influence upon Jewish thought. It has also been a formative element in the thinking of leading Christian writers and philosophers down through the seventeenth century. The Guide is not a philosophical treatise. Rather, its aim is to liberate men from the tormenting perplexities arising from their understanding of the Bible according only to its literal meaning. This celebrated translation is now available in a two-volume Phoenix paperback edition.
