On the Nature of Philosophical Debates: The Strauss-Kojève Controversy on Tyrrany and Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: There are a number of writings dedicated to the analysis of the controversy between Leo Strauss and Alexandre Kojève on tyranny and the aim of philosophy. This essay makes an attempt to focus not so much on the contents of their particular debate, but on the character of their exchange. The gist of the argument is that philosophy as such is based on various forms of debates including hidden dialogues, discussions or exchanges of ideas. Methodologically the Strauss-Kojève debate is a blueprint for the quarrel between ancients and moderns in the 20th century. One has to take a side of either historicism or the classical view of politics and the nature of philosophy on the whole.
