On Tyranny

Résumé du livre

Leo Strauss's critical study of Xenophon's Hiero was first published in 1948. A French edition of 1954 added a French version of the Hiero, a slightly edited version of Alexandre Kojeve's review of Strauss's study, and a "Restatement" by Strauss that briefly replies to a review by Eric Voegelin and goes on to challenge Kojeve's review point by point. A volume containing essentially the same texts appeared in English in 1964. That volume has now been revised, expanded to include the full surviving correspondence between Strauss and Kojeve, and introduced by editors Victor Gourevitch and Michael A. Roth.
