Perversion and the Art of Persecution: Esotericism and Fear in the Political Philosophy of Leo Strauss
Sean Noah Walsh
This book critically examines Leo Strauss’s claim that the philosophers of antiquity, especially Plato, wrote esoterically, hiding the highest truths “exclusively between the lines.” Reading Strauss’s discourse through Lacanian psychoanalysis, his theory of esoteric writing can be understood as a pathologically perverse response to fear.
