NEW Books and EVENTS

• The character of "second, unnatural cave" - has nature become even more hidden than is to her usual liking? 

• Can the permanent problems become unavailable? 

• "...what was primarily intended as a corrective for the modern mind, was easily perverted into a confirmation of the dogma of the superiority of modern thought to all earlier thought. Historical understanding lost its liberating force by becoming historicism, which is nothing other than the petrified and self-complacent form of the self-criticism of the modern mind." 

• Based in part on Strauss's correspondence with Gerhard Krüger and Karl Löwith.
