The book explores the philosophical connections between Leo Strauss and Emmanuel Levinas, two influential Jewish thinkers of the twentieth century. Despite their differing intellectual legacies—Strauss's impact on political theory and Levinas's influence in the humanities—Leora Batnitzky highlights their shared philosophical roots and formal parallels. This comparison not only enhances the understanding of each philosopher but also prompts critical reflections on the definitions of religion, revealing how religion intersects with both philosophy and politics in contemporary discourse.
