By examining Leo Strauss's philosophy within the framework of National Socialism, the book reveals how Strauss dismantles the divide between 'Athens' and 'Jerusalem,' challenging modern secularism's defenses against political theology. It posits that National Socialism functions as an atheistic religion, with Strauss emerging as a key theorist akin to Plato's Athenian Stranger. This analysis invites a reevaluation of Strauss's impact on contemporary political thought and the interplay between philosophy and ideology in the context of totalitarianism.
