Sorensen examines Strauss's political theory by turning to his distinction between revelation and reason, religion and philosophy. The author maintains that Strauss viewed these as two fundamentally different worldviews and as alternate ways of understanding the good life by way of a reading of Strauss's Thoughts on Machiavelli.
