Join Natural Law Moment for the next installment of a look back into the lives of our co-hosts Profs. Arkes and Bradley before they became the storied teachers they would become.
This latest episode focuses on Hadley Arkes’s intellectual formation at the University of Chicago in the early 1960s as a graduate student of the legendary philosopher and political scientiest Leo Strauss. Our co-hosts explore the ingredients that made the University of Chicago of that era such a vibrant place, a place where Arkes would never have wanted to leave “to study abroad.” Arkes recounts classroom interactions between Strauss and his students as well as the philosophic developments that would come to be associated with a revival of conservative thought on the American Founders and Lincoln. And don’t miss what Arkes says that Strauss might counsel our leaders of today.
