列奥·施特劳斯:政治哲学与历史唯物主义

Leo Strauss and Historical Materialism

西方历史观念的发展及其现代性危机,最终导致对与错、善与恶之间价值标准的消解。列奥·施特劳斯主张回归柏拉图的苏格拉底哲学,重估西方哲学史,并将其改写成回复自然权利的政治哲学史。在他的“魔眼”里,哲学的重要性和自然的不平等,成了消解现代性危机和批判马克思的唯物史观和共产主义理论的“利器”,由此凸显其与马克思主义的高度紧张和对立。

Western modernity and the development of its historical concept lead to at last the standard of the deconstruction of right and wrong, good and evil. Leo Strauss restores Platonic Socrates, reevaluates western philosophy's history, and rewrites it as history of political philosophy the returning of natural right. In his magic eyes, the importance of philosophy and unequality of nature become the sharp weapons to deconstruct modern crisis and criticize Marxist communist theories and historical matericalist and therefore highlights high tension between Leo Strauss and Marxist.
