Leo Strauss on Athens and Jerusalem

Leo Strauss on Athens and Jerusalem

In this episode we discuss Leo Strauss' lecture on Athens and Jerusalem. This is the first out of three lectures, delivered in the fall of 1950, investigate the agreement, disagreement, and conflict between the biblical and the philosophic “ways of life”: “Philosophy in the full sense is [...] incompatible with the biblical way of life. Philosophy and the Bible are the alternatives or the antagonists in the drama of the human soul. Each of the two antagonists claims to know the truth, namely, the decisive truths, the truths regarding the right way of life. But there can be only one truth, and, hence, conflict is inevitable.” The first lecture is uploaded to Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KQ_U9Nt3YE
The lecture is also made as a transcript: https://www.academia.edu/29738143/Leo_Strauss_Jerusalem_and_Athens_1950_
