Abstract

COLEN, José. Annapolis’ conferences on Natural Right: a new text by Leo Strauss. Diacrítica [online]. 2012, vol.26, n.2, pp.514-545. ISSN 0807-8967.

The typescript “Natural Law” is an unpublished text of Leo Strauss. The text was intended to be read at two conferences in Annapolis in 1946, and precedes the Walgreen Lectures with which he presented himself at the University of Chicago, the source of Natural Right and History. The text for the oral communication is much clearer than is usual with the author about his own position on the permanence of natural right, the origin of recent academic controversy.

Keywords : Natural right; Classics; Moderns; Leo Strauss; Aristotle; Liberalism.
