In this classic work, Leo Strauss examines the problem of natural right and argues that there is a firm foundation in reality for the distinction between right and wrong in ethics and politics. On the centenary of Strauss's birth, and the fiftieth anniversary of the Walgreen Lectures which spawned the work, Natural Right and History remains as controversial and essential as ever.

Writing in 1953, Strauss foresaw the possibility of our political peril today. A true philosopher, he understood the perennial dilemmas and questions that are intrinsic to human society and politics, referencing with depth and clarity the world’s the greatest minds, starting with Socrates, the founder of political philosophy , and proceeding ultimately to Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Edmund Burke.

This is an important work for American political philosophy, and the narrator should have been someone who can read at more than a third-grade level and thus pronounce all the words correctly.
