Unreferenced date August 2009 Persecution and the Art of Writing , published in 1952 by the Free Press publisher Free Press , is a book of collected articles written by Leo Strauss . The book contains five previously published essays, many of which were significantly altered by Strauss from their original publication. The general theme of the book is the relationship between politics and philosophy . The thesis of the book is that many ancient and early modern political philosophers, in order to avoid persecution, hid their most heterodoxy heterodox ideas within their texts. Strauss s general argument rearticulated throughout his subsequent writings most notably in The City and Man 1978 is that prior to the 19th century, Western scholars commonly understood that philosophical writing is not at home in any polity, no matter how liberal. Insofar as it questions conventional wisdom at its roots, philosophy must guard itself especially against those readers who believe themselves authoritative, wise, and liberal defenders of the status quo. In questioning established opinions, or in investigating the principles of morality, philosophers of old found it necessary to convey their messages in an oblique manner. Their art of writing was the art of exoteric communication. This is all the more apparent in medieval times, when heterodox political thinkers wrote under the threat of the Inquisition or comparably intransigent tribunals. Strauss s argument is not that the medieval writers he studies reserved one exoteric meaning for the many hoi polloi and an esoteric hidden one for the few hoi aristoi , but that said writers succeeded in conveying meaning proper at the heart of their writings a heart or message irreducible to the letter or historical dimension of texts. Explicitely following G.E. Lessing s lead, Strauss indicates that medieval political philosophers, no less than their ancient counterparts, in writing, carefully adapted their wording to the dominant moral views o ... more details
