About
"Leo Strauss (1899-09-20 – 1973-10-18) was an American conservative political philosopher of German-Jewish extraction, who specialized in the relativization of classical philosophy during his decades at the University of Chicago."

Strauss's views appear to many observers to be at the core of the neoconservative world-view (see links below).
