We direct your attention to a recent post on the Imaginative Conservative Blog where Brad Birzer has collected a few forgotten items from the Kirk Center archives and elsewhere on the relationship of Russell Kirk and Leo Strauss. It was more amicable than is generally recognized; in 1963 Kirk pronounced Strauss “on the side of the angels.” We look forward to further research in this area.
@NadyaWilliams81 @cjscalia @ubookman Nadya, I enjoyed this thoughtful and sharply written essay on an important book. Some day we might look for a chance to hash these issues out. Maybe with Christopher. What are the limits of political criteria? What does Christian humanism say on this question?
