The Crisis of liberal democracy
I don't know why I bothered finishing this book. It was short, I guess, and it did have some interesting bits that I did not know about or much about such as Carl Schmitt's influence on Strauß. But the basic gist of the book is that Strauß and his fawning epigones in the religious right think that some kind of religious orthodoxy is necessary to keep the masses in check while the true philosophical elites, that being the Straussian inner circle, are all closet nihilists who know that morality is for chumps. I already knew that. In fact, it has now become a cliché that the religious right is the party of glaring moral hypocrisy. Larry Craig, anyone?
