57A Mandatory Reading of Kant's Ethics?Philosophical Quarterly 51 (204): 386-393. 2001.Kant on Freedom, Law, and Happiness. BY PAUL GUYER. (Cambridge UP, 2000. Pp. xii + 440. Price £12.95 or $19.95.)

6The Unavailability of the Ordinary: Strauss on the Philosophical Fate of ModernityPhilosophy Today 31 (3): 335-358. 2003.In Natural Right and History Leo Strauss argues for the continuing “relevance” of the classical understanding of natural right. Since this relevance is not a matter of a direct return, or a renewed appreciation that a neglected doctrine is simply true, the meaning of this claim is somewhat elusive.

Strauss argues that the classical understanding art…Read more

12Back to Hegel?Mediations 26 (1-2). 2012.Robert Pippin reviews Slavoj Žižek’s Less than Nothing, a serious attempt to re-actualize Hegel in the light of Lacanian metapsychology.
