1990–2000: A new reception of Leo Strauss in France

1990–2000: A new reception of Leo Strauss in France - 2023.
33
By interviewing Corine Pelluchon and Daniel Tanguay and analyzing their remarks, we put forward another version of Strauss transformed by a new context of scholarly and social uses. This background differs from the context of the 1950s, which centered on the crucial role of Raymond Aron and Alexandre Kojève in introducing Straussian political thought to France. The framing that characterizes Pelluchon and Tanguay’s approach is different in the sense that they do not belong to the same generation. Consequently, they endorse a historical—and non-ideological—perspective that leads them to emphasize the theological-political problem and to consider themselves mainly as introducers and translators of a new corpus.
