Eros Turannos: Leo Strauss & Alexandre Kojeve Debate on Tyranny

Eros Turannos analyzes the debates between Leo Strauss and Alexandre Kojeve. Their debates are contextualized through the Platonic notion of a likeness between the psuche (soul) and the polis (city). This classical notion is updated through contemporary philosopher William Desmond’s linked accounts of eros and tyranny.
