It is less commonly underscored, however, that the cornerstone of this attempt is the recovery of the question of \"nature,\" which he regarded as inseparable from genuine philosophy since its inception in ancient Greece. \u003ci\u003eLeo Strauss and the Recovery of \"Natural Philosophizing\"\u003c\/i\u003e addresses such a theme, focusing on the theoretical presuppositions that Strauss found at the basis of the acquired inability to raise the question of nature. Prominent among these is the encounter between philosophy and revelation, which, due to their conceptual incompatibility, leads to a condition Strauss metaphorically described as a \"second, 'unnatural' cave\" characterized by insurmountable \"prejudices\" rather than \"appearance and opinion.\" These, however, are the starting point of genuine philosophy in the Platonic \"first, 'natural' cave,\" which has to be regained, by way of historical deconstruction of the presuppositions of the second cave, if the \"natural philosophizing\" embodied by Socratic dialectics is to be reactivated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alberto Marco Giovanni Ghibellini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Suny the Thought and Legacy of Leo Strauss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.61d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438498607","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43232587546761,"sku":"9781438498607","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_01d8f3ae-05f8-4073-a2d3-b6a0bb8b4164.jpg?v=1735033000","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/leo-strauss-and-the-recovery-of-natural-philosophizing-9781438498607","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
