that strauss himself wrote in that way, and strauss' published books are indeed quite difficult, and some of them do have elements of obscurity. so, it's not surprising that there would be some interpreters who would read into strauss' historical thesis a recommend of how philosophers or thinkers ought to write today, and indeed a clue as to his own manner of writing. now, in the book, i maintain this is simply not true; that as strauss put it, very famously, he believed that the surface of things is the heart of things, and when strauss said that this manner of writing would intrips cli -- and it's clear from strauss' lectures and seminars he did not believe that he was under the threat of persecution in the united states. he referred to the ute in one lecture as a silly little freedom. he said in united states there was virtually complete freedom of expression, and so an essential condition for coming to the conclusion that a thinker is writing between the lines or in a secretive way, according to strauss' persecution, and we know very clearly from what he taught and his statements

that is not at all strauss. i think in terms of the goal it is really greater social justice or equality but with a great deal of caution about how we get there and what other values we might end up sacrificing by using certain methods to get there. that's a position that's very characteristic of a lot of people who would call themselves liberals today. we don't want to get rid of the market. there are some people who think we need to radically invent all the institutions of capitalism. i respect those views but that's not my view. my view is we need some of those institutions and therefore we need basically to be able to live with a certain amount of social inequality which is an inevitable result of those institutions but i would like to reduce it through smart social policy, smart tax policy, smart redistricting policies and i don't think that's very different from the spirit of strauss's own thinking on these kinds of questions. >> you talk about other social values that would be diminished let's say by the

what jaffa actually wrote was a defense of natural rights at the political fies ol' fer, like leo strauss might express them. the difference was, it came at the very supercharged political moment and it's the difference between philosophy and politics. as soon as the word extremism was presented as a virtue, at that moment the republican party became a different thing. >> and you cannot divorce it from the broader context. in 1964, we were less than two years away from having survived the cuban missile crisis. as the republicans met in san francisco, there were searches going on in mississippi for murdered civil rights workers from the north. extremism was not an abstraction. we saw it on our tv screens, we'd seen it in birmingham with police dogs and fire hoses, and to the extent he was fairly or unfairly tarred with he brush of racism, unreliableity. is hipping fer was on the nuclear button. all of those factors came into play. he didn't have to confirm the worst image that people had, and he chose to do so by using professor jaffas words. >> absolutely, and they knew the moment he said
