レオ・シュトラウスとユダヤ思想

啓治と哲学の抗争

抄録

Leo Strauss's political philosophy aimed at criticizing modern rationalism and regenerating classical rationalism. Strauss attempted to accomplish this by contemplating “Three Quarrels,” that is, the conflicts between “ancient people and modern people,”“revelation and philosophy,” and “poetry and philosophy.”
This paper focuses on “revelation and philosophy” and considers the intellectual background of this conflict.
First, we analyze Strauss's thoughts on Jewish issues and explore the essence of his understanding of Judaism on the basis of this analysis.
Second, we analyze how the conflict between revelation and philosophy arises, based on Strauss's philosophy, and consequently, we reach Strauss's conclusion that this conflict can never be reconciled.
Lastly, we examine Heinrich Meier's opinion of Strauss's conclusion and conclude that because Strauss was a Jew, he was able to perceive the conflict between revelation and philosophy.
