One of the richest contributions is a seminar on Nietzsche's \u003ci\u003eThus Spoke Zarathustra, \u003c\/i\u003e taught in 1959 during Strauss's tenure at the University of Chicago. In the lectures, Strauss draws important parallels between Nietzsche's most important project and his own ongoing efforts to restore classical political philosophy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With \u003ci\u003eLeo Strauss on Nietzsche's \"Thus Spoke Zarathustra,\"\u003c\/i\u003e eminent Strauss scholar Richard L. Velkley presents Strauss's lectures on \u003ci\u003eZarathustra\u003c\/i\u003e with superb annotations that bring context and clarity to the critical role played by Nietzsche in shaping Strauss's thought. In addition to the broad relationship between Nietzsche and political philosophy, Strauss adeptly guides readers through Heidegger's confrontations with Nietzsche, laying out Heidegger's critique of Nietzsche's \"will to power\" while also showing how Heidegger can be read as a foil for his own reading of Nietzsche. The lectures also shed light on the relationship between Heidegger and Strauss, as both philosophers saw Nietzsche as a central figure for understanding the crisis of philosophy and Western civilization. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Strauss's reading of Nietzsche is one of the important-yet little appreciated-philosophical inquiries of the past century, both an original interpretation of Nietzsche's thought and a deep engagement with the core problems that modernity posed for political philosophy. It will be welcomed by anyone interested in the work of either philosopher.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeo Strauss \u003c\/b\u003e(1899-1973) was one of the preeminent political philosophers of the twentieth century.
