PARRA, José Daniel. Between Carl Schmitt and Thomas Hobbes: A study of modern liberalism from Leo Strauss' thought . Eidos [online]. 2010, n.12, pp.48-86. ISSN 1692-8857.
This essay presents a reading of modern liberalism from Leo Strauss' thought. Starting with his analysis of Carl Schmitt's Concept of the Political and its critique of liberal "neutralization and depolitization", Strauss posits an affirmation of the problem of natural right, for which it is a fundamental first step to study the political philosophy of Hobbes. In contrast with Schmitt and Hobbes, Strauss' thought points towards a consideration of classical natural right as a riposte to the political nihilism or apolitical cosmopolitanism of late-modernity, both products of radical historicism as well as methodological positivism. Strauss considers the search of natural right qua representation of the idea of justice a distinct alternative to the affirmation of the will through sovereign power.
