How much of Toland’s ‘Clidophorus’ lie inside Strauss’s ‘Persecution and the Art of Writing’? #strauss #esoteric #exoteric #philosophy #philosophers
In PAW, Strauss never mentions Toland’s Clidophorus, notwithstanding the subject of both books is the same. Is that esoterically relevant? #strauss #esotericism #exotericism #philosophy #betweenthelines
It seems implausible that Strauss didn’t have notice of Toland’s work, so why the silence about it in his own work about the double doctrine? #esotericism #exotericism #strauss #clidophorus #philosophy
Concerning Lessing, Strauss mentions him only once, but we knew later that he had written a essay about Lessing that was posthumously published. Why nothing about Toland? #esotericism #exotericism #betweenthelines #strauss #philosophy
It’s widely known that Lessing was a reader of Toland. How much of his views of the double doctrine can br attributted to Toland’s work? #strauss #esotericism #exotericism #philosophy #betweenthelines
In a time when Leo Strauss has attacted new attention, maybe it’s time to rediscover John Toland’s ‘Clidophorus’ #strauss #esotericism #exotericism #BetweenTheLines #philosophers #Philosophy
