Leo Strauss (1899-1973) was one of the preeminent political philosophers of the twentieth century. He is the author of many books, among them The Political Philosophy of Hobbes, Natural Right and History, and The City and Man, all published by the University of Chicago Press. J. A. Colen is the Tocqueville Professor at the University of Navarra, Spain; an associate researcher of the Political Theory Group at the University of Minho, Portugal and a James Madison Fellow of Princeton University. He is the coeditor, most recently, of The Companion to Raymond Aron and the author of Facts and Values and Statesman's Future, Historian's Past. Svetozar Minkov is associate professor of philosophy at Roosevelt University. He is coauthor, most recently, of Mastery of Nature and the author of six books, including Strauss on Science and Hobbes's Critique of Religion and Related Writings.

"Toward "Natural Right and History" brings together six previously unpublished gems previously hidden in the cobwebs of the Strauss archives. Written during the fertile period of 1937-46, the essays show Strauss as a craftsman working out the details of the arguments that would be expressed in works such as Natural Right and History, Thoughts on Machiavelli, and The City and Man."--Devin Stauffer, University of Texas at Austin "The ably edited essays selected here provide insight into an important moment in Strauss's work. They show Strauss thinking through problems that would become fundamental to his most important book, Natural Right and History."--Steven B. Smith, Yale University
